I have a 1.5cm kidney stone in my left kidney and keep getting frequent pain. Should I consider surgery or is there any medication that can help with this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 1.5 cm kidney stone causing frequent pain may require surgical intervention, depending on its location and how it's affecting your urinary flow. While medication can help with pain management and potentially assist in passing smaller stones, it's unlikely to resolve a stone of that size without other treatments.

I've had this tight ring around my penis foreskin for years now - I can pull the skin back when soft but it hurts during erections and sex. Sometimes the skin even tears because of that tight band. It's not phimosis but I really don't want surgery - are there any medical treatments that could help with this?
While it sounds like you might have a condition similar to phimosis (tight foreskin), where the foreskin can't fully retract, and you're experiencing pain during erections, there are non-surgical options that can help. These include topical medications, gentle stretching exercises, and maintaining good hygiene.

Circumcision changes how someone's penis looks and may lower their risk of diseases such as cancer of the penis, HIV, and HPV.it has no effect on your sexual function or fertility.
