I have an 11mm kidney stone but no pain right now. Can it be removed with medicine or will I need surgery? What are my options?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
An 11mm kidney stone may not pass naturally and might require treatment, potentially including medical procedures or surgery. While some smaller stones may pass with increased water intake and medication, an 11mm stone has a lower chance of passing on its own. Treatment options include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to break up the stone, ureteroscopy to remove or break up the stone with laser or other tools, and in some cases, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for larger stones.

View allI'm dealing with a problem where the foreskin on my penis is really tight, and I can't pull it back at all. I can't see the inside of my penis, and it seems like others my age can do this easily. I've heard that having a tight foreskin can cause pain and maybe even bleeding during sex. I'm not sure what I should do about it, could you help me out with some advice?
To address this issue, you can try using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% cream. Apply a small amount of the cream to the tight part of the foreskin twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. This can help to reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. In severe cases where conservative measures do not work, a circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare professional. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I'm really struggling with an addiction to masturbation over the last 10 years, sometimes doing it multiple times in a day. I've noticed my penis has become quite large and bent to one side, and my scrotum is bigger than usual too. This has made it hard for me to wear pants comfortably, and I'm feeling pretty depressed about it. Is there any way to reduce the size or reshape them to a more manageable size? Would love to hear your advice on how I can address this situation.
Excessive masturbation and friction may have caused penile curvature (Peyronies disease) or swelling. Enlarged scrotum could indicate other issues like hydrocele or varicocele. Consult a urologist for evaluation and tailored treatment options to address size concerns and any emotional distress.

I'm newly married, just about two weeks ago, and I've been having some issues when trying to have intercourse. My erection doesn't seem to last. When my penis gets hard and I attempt to enter the vagina, it suddenly loses the erection. Even if I do manage to get it up again, the same thing keeps happening. It's really depressing and making me anxious. Do you think this is a permanent issue? Also, my penis is around 11 centimeters longis that adequate for sex? Is there a cure for these erection problems, or is there something I should be doing differently?
it will be cure
