I had really bad stomach pain yesterday and an ultrasound showed a 5mm stone in the mid pole of my left kidney. Can this pass on its own with meds or will I need surgery? What do you suggest for treatment?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He had an abdomen scan and the results mentioned grade 1 prostatomegaly. What does that actually mean? Should we be concerned or is it something common? Could you help me understand this a bit more?
Grade 1 prostatomegaly indicates a mildly enlarged prostate (1-30% enlargement). It's generally not serious, but requires monitoring to prevent progression to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. Consult a urologist for guidance.

I've been dealing with paraphimosis for over a year now, and it's getting really frustrating. I'm not sure what steps to take. Could you guide me on what to do next? I'm really worried and would appreciate some quick advice.
Paraphimosis is a medical emergency that requires prompt attention; please immediately visit the nearest hospital or urology clinic, as delaying treatment can lead to serious complications, such as permanent damage to the penis, gangrene, or even amputation; a urologist may perform a manual reduction, circumcision, or preputioplasty to treat the condition.

just had successful RIRS surgery for my 11 and 14 mm kidney stones what medicines or precautions should I take to prevent them from coming back
To prevent the recurrence of kidney stones after successful RIRS surgery, focus on hydration, dietary changes, and medication as recommended by your doctor. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, aim for 3 liters (5.2 pints) or more, to help flush out minerals. Limit animal protein, sodium, and sugary drinks. Medications like alpha blockers (like tamsulosin) or potassium citrate may also be prescribed to prevent stone formation
