I have a 3.8 cm stone and some smaller ones in my left kidney do I need surgery for this? And if yes, is it okay to wait until the first week of December or should I get it done sooner?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 3.8 cm kidney stone and smaller ones in your left kidney likely require surgery. Waiting until the first week of December may not be advisable. Large stones (over 1 cm) rarely pass naturally and can cause severe pain, obstruction, or kidney damage. Early intervention is crucial, especially if you are experiencing pain, infection, or urinary tract obstruction.

View allI'm worried about my recent ultrasound results. It says I have left renal cortical cysts and grade II fatty changes in my liver, plus something called prostatomegaly. The report mentions that my left kidney is normal in size and there's no evidence of any stones or hydronephrosis. There are two cystic lesions at the lower pole, one of which is pretty big. Should I be concerned about these findings, especially the cysts and liver changes? What do these terms really mean for my health?
The pain you're experiencing after vomiting could be due to: 1. Irritation and inflammation of the esophagus (food pipe) from stomach acid. 2. Potential tears or ulcers in the esophagus or throat. 3. Spasms or constriction of the esophagus. To alleviate the discomfort: - Stay hydrated with water and electrolyte-rich drinks. - Avoid solid foods for a while; opt for bland, soft foods like yogurt or soup. - Over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac may help. - If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention.

I had keyhole surgery for kidney stones back in August 2016 but just got an ultrasound scan that showed an 11mm and 5.5mm stone in my right kidney and a 3.5mm stone in my left kidney. I'm really worried about going through surgery again is there any way to treat these stones without surgery or is surgery the only option?

I'm dealing with a curve in my penis that bends to the left, and it's making me feel really self-conscious. Is there any specific exercise I can do, or a proper way to masturbate, that might help make it straighter?
To address this issue, you can try performing penile stretching exercises to help straighten your penis. One common exercise is the penile traction method, where you gently stretch your penis in the opposite direction of the curve for a few minutes each day. Additionally, using a penile traction device may also help in straightening your penis over time. It's important to be patient and consistent with these exercises for them to be effective. Remember to be gentle and not forceful to avoid any injuries.
