I have a 19mm stone in my right kidney but the measurements say 18.89.213.7mm. Can you clarify if it's actually 19mm or 13.7mm? Is there any way to shrink or dissolve this stone with medication alone, or will I definitely need surgery?

My DPTA scan showed my right kidney is mildly enlarged and hydronephrotic but has good cortical function and passive pelvic stasis without significant obstruction. Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed without an operation?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've been having some issues after having unprotected sex about 3 months ago. My penis is looking a bit shiny and there's this itching, plus sometimes it burns a bit when I touch the foreskin. Im getting pretty worried. I want to get tested for all STDs and STIs in Kolkata. Can you point me in the right direction for this?

visit your nearest STD clinic or you can visit Dermatologist where you get yourself tested and exact STD kit for the disease would resolve this. It is curable no need to worry, visit Dermatologist as soon as possible
