I have a 6.5 mm stone in the lower middle part of my left kidney. Can this be treated with medications or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about the options and what would work best for me.

For 6mm kidney stones, medical treatment is often recommended, which involves increasing urine output. Some medications can dissolve certain types of stones, such as uric acid or cystine stones. However, these medications cannot dissolve calcium stones, which account for 80% of kidney stones

View allI recently got a urine test done at SRL Diagnostics and the report showed 810 blood in urine. They recommended a kidney sonography which found a stone in my right kidney. I'm really worried about this and want to explore options to treat it without surgery. What are the best ways to manage or dissolve the stone naturally?

I was wondering when it's safe to start masturbating again after my surgery. The stunt is due to be removed in about four weeks, and I haven't been feeling any pain.

I'm having trouble pulling back the foreskin on my penis, and it's causing a really uncomfortable tightness at the tip during full erections and when trying to insert. On top of that, I'm dealing with premature ejaculation. Should I be seeing a urologist for this, or is a general surgeon the better option? Also, is there a connection between this issue with my foreskin, phimosis I think it's called, and premature ejaculation?
You should consult a urologist, as they specialize in genital and urinary tract issues, including phimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin) and premature ejaculation (PE); while phimosis and PE can coexist, they are not directly related, but treating phimosis through circumcision, preputioplasty, or frenuloplasty may help alleviate discomfort and tightness, which could indirectly improve PE symptoms, and a urologist can assess and address both concerns.
