I have a 6mm kidney stone and my CT scan shows it's 10mm in another part do I really need surgery or are there other options to pass it naturally
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 6mm kidney stone and a larger 10mm stone likely won't pass naturally and will require medical intervention. Surgery is generally not the first choice for 6mm stones, but it's often considered for stones of 10mm or larger, or if a smaller stone gets stuck and causes complications. Other options like medication, lithotripsy (shock wave therapy), or a procedure called ureteroscopy might be used before surgery, especially for smaller stones

View allI've been prone masturbating for the past five years and just realized what it could lead to. I've tried using my hands, but it really didn't work for me. When I tried prone again, it worked. Does it usually take time to get used to using hands? I really don't want to go prone again. Is it normal for someone who's been doing this for five or six years to have trouble adjusting to using their hands?

I've been having this itching sensation inside my penis, and it's making me feel like I constantly need to pee. It gets worse after sex, and I feel some pressure too when I'm trying to urinate. Any idea what's going on?

I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I've been feeling really self-conscious about my penis size, which is about 3 inches. I had an experience with my girlfriend where she wasn't satisfied, and it's been making me feel really guilty and embarrassed. I've heard about treatments for penis enlargement, specifically with Unani Medicines, but I'm not sure where to start. Should I be seeing a urologist or a sexologist to discuss this? I'm really curious and a bit worried about how to approach the situation.
