I have a 4mm stone in my left ureter and I'm worried if it can pass on its own or if I'll need surgery. Right now I'm taking Drotin M for the pain but I'm not sure what to expect next. Can you help me understand my options?

A 4mm stone in the ureter can sometimes pass on its own, but if it doesn‚Äôt, surgery may be needed. Drotin M can help with pain management, but follow up with your doctor for further treatment options.

I've had a lump on my scrotum for about 10-12 years now. It started as a small pimple but slowly turned into a bigger lump.

Can you tell me if I can treat it with medicine or if I'll need surgery to remove it?
