I have an 11mm stone in my left kidney and my doctors recommended RIRS laser surgery but I'm wondering if lithotripsy could work instead for my case

View allI'm dealing with epididymitis that I found out about a month ago. I started antibiotics back then and the swelling went down a bit. Then my doctor switched me to a milder antibiotic, but after a week, the swelling didn't go away and actually got worse, turning into a hydrocele. So my doctor put me back on the old antibiotics. I've got a bunch of questions on my mind. Is epididymitis something that can actually be cured? And if so, how long should I expect it to take? What kind of care should I be taking, like should I change my diet or exercise routine? Is jogging, running, or hitting the gym something I can do? Are there specific foods or activities I need to steer clear of? Could this condition affect my sexual or married life? What precautions should I be taking? How about personal care, any specific things I need to focus on? Also, my doctor prescribed tablets that cost 100 Rs each; do antibiotics really cost that much?

I'm really confused about my recent health diagnoses and I hope you can give me some guidance. I was told I have Herpes simplex igg with a score of 2.78, but I haven't noticed any pimples, scars, or redness anywhere around my genitals or face. However, I've been experiencing tickling sensations in my penis and saw blood in my semen during intercourse. Alongside this, I've been diagnosed with chlamydia and took the meds my doctor prescribed, but I'm still noticing a cloudy liquid discharge from time to time. The burning sensation is gone, but I'm not sure what steps I should take next to deal with herpes. Any advice on how to manage or understand these symptoms better?
For the treatment of herpes simplex virus infection, you can consider taking antiviral medications such as Valtrex or Acyclovir. These medications can help in reducing the frequency and severity of herpes outbreaks. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate medication and dosage for your specific condition. Additionally, practicing safe sex and maintaining good personal hygiene can also help in managing herpes outbreaks.

I've been dealing with a UTI for the last ten days and have been taking medicines like Citralka syrup, Niftran, and Drotin M. However, my urine is still pale yellow, and my urinalysis showed 10-15 pus cells, with the culture coming back negative. How much longer will it take until I'm feeling better? I'm really getting tired of this.
