I found out I had a 3.5 mm kidney stone in my left kidney about a year ago, and now the pain's come back. Is drinking more water still the best way to deal with this?

View allI've recently gotten my semen analysis results back and everything seems normal except for my PUS cell count, which is at 57 hpf, while the epithelial count is only present in small amounts. Could this high PUS cell count be affecting my fertility? My wife and I are having trouble conceiving, and I'm wondering if this might be the issue. Should I see a doctor for this, or can taking a good antibiotic help resolve it?
Your semen analysis shows a slightly elevated pus cell count (5-7hpf), which may indicate a mild infection or inflammation. This alone might not directly affect fertility, but its worth consulting a doctor to rule out any underlying issues. A targeted antibiotic course, if needed, could help, but additional tests might be required to assess other fertility factors for both you and your wife.

My brother has been diagnosed with kidney stones and is in constant pain. The report shows multiple stones can these be treated with medication or will surgery be necessary? The pain seems unbearable for him and we're really worried about the next steps.
Kidney stones are painful, and whether they can be treated with medication or require surgery depends on their size, location, and the severity of the pain. Some stones may pass on their own with increased fluid intake and pain medication, while others may require procedures like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or surgery
