I drink plenty of water and watch my diet but still keep getting kidney stones - this is my third surgery to remove them why do they keep forming even when I'm careful what causes these stones to develop repeatedly
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Even with good hydration and dietary choices, recurring kidney stones can be due to various factors including underlying medical conditions, genetic predisposition, or certain medications. Your doctor may need to investigate further to determine the specific cause of your recurring stones and tailor a prevention plan.

I'm experiencing a ticklish sensation in my penis for the last four days after masturbating. I've been drinking a lot of water and peeing frequently, which gives me temporary relief. But during the end of urination, I feel this strange sensation in my lower abdomen, though nothing actually hurts. I'm sure it can't be an STD since I'm a virgin. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
This could be a sign of urinary tract irritation or inflammation. I recommend taking a course of an over-the-counter medication called Phenazopyridine (brand name Pyridium) to help relieve the discomfort and burning sensation during urination. Additionally, you may also consider taking a medication like Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) to help reduce any inflammation in the urinary tract. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential irritants. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

My mom just got diagnosed with an 11mm kidney stone. Can this be treated with meds or will she need surgery? If surgery is needed, what kind would they recommend and how does it work?
For a kidney stone 11mm in size, treatment options often involve surgical procedures, as stones larger than 10mm are generally not expected to pass naturally. Common surgical techniques include Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL), Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS, and Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL). Medications can also play a role in managing pain and helping stones pass, but are less likely to be effective for larger stones.
