I have a 15mm kidney stone in my right PUJ and a 9mm one in my left kidney, and my creatinine serum level is 1.13. My doctor recommends laser surgery with a stent, but I'm wondering if there's any way to remove or dissolve these stones naturally. How long can I safely delay the surgery?

Given the size of your kidney stones (15mm and 9mm) and your creatinine level (1.13), a delay in surgery might not be advisable, especially for the larger stone in the PUJ. While natural methods like increased fluid intake can help with small stones, larger ones and those causing obstruction, like the 15mm one, typically require intervention.

View allI'm really worried because while having sex with my wife, as soon as I went in, my penis started bleeding from the area where the foreskin is attached to the pee hole. Can you tell me what might be happening and what I should do?
I'm sorry to hear about this. Bleeding from the area where the foreskin is attached could be due to friction or irritation. It's important to keep the area clean and avoid further irritation. If the bleeding continues or you experience pain, it's advisable to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough examination and proper guidance.

I've been feeling a slight pain and discomfort right above my penis, like two fingers' width above, and it's a bit more to the left side. Plus, there's a heaviness in the area around my testicles. This has been going on for about two weeks now. Is this something normal or should I be concerned enough to see a doctor about it?
The symptoms you're describing, including slight pain above the penis, heaviness in the testicles, and a specific location of the pain, warrant medical attention; possible causes range from epididymitis, orchitis, or a groin strain to more serious conditions like testicular torsion or a hernia; schedule an appointment with a urologist or primary care physician for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
