I have a 6mm kidney stone in my left kidney. Currently, I am experiencing constipation and a heavy feeling in my belly. My report mentions gas in the bowel detected by a 10 MHz scan. Could the constipation be related to the kidney stone. Please suggest how I can relieve the constipation and what steps I should take? Thank you, sir.

A 6mm kidney stone can cause discomfort but is usually managed with fluids and medication. Constipation and bloating may be due to dietary factors or intestinal gas. These are not directly caused by the kidney stone. Do get done Xray KUB and urine routine as soon as possible.

Two days back I had frequent urination every half an hour. After taking metronidazole for 2 days it is improving but earlier I had some bladder pain with inflammation. My urine test report is normal but I did not do a urine culture test. Inside my penis there is a burning sensation. Is any problem occurring?

Hi, this is Seyeda. I am 6 months pregnant. I am experiencing white discharge with a foul odour from the vagina during intercourse. I had a similar problem before pregnancy, and my gynecologist had prescribed medication that resolved it. My question is, why is this problem recurring now, and is it likely to happen again in the future? Please advise.
