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

I'm trying to get Suhagra 50 as suggested by Dr. Jitendriya Biswal, but it looks like I need a prescription to purchase it. Could you help me out with this or maybe include it in a prescription for me?
It seems that Dr. Jitendriya Biswal has recommended Suhagra 50 for your condition. I would suggest visiting your healthcare provider to have the prescription officially issued. It's important to ensure the medication is appropriate for your specific needs and that the dosage is correct.

I've been diagnosed with varicocele in my left testicle and really want to avoid surgery. Are there any medicines or natural treatments that can help cure it? What options do I have to get back to normal without going under the knife?
there's no guaranteed cure for varicocele without surgery, several non-surgical treatments and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms and improve your condition. These include scrotal support, ice packs, and pain medication. In some cases, embolization (a minimally invasive procedure) may be an option instead of surgery
