I have a 6mm stone in my left upper ureter with mild hydronephrosis do I need surgery right away or is there a chance it could pass on its own with urine? What would you recommend?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 6mm kidney stone in the ureter with mild hydronephrosis can sometimes pass on its own, but it's also possible it will require intervention. While some 6mm stones pass, a 6mm stone might be more likely to get stuck, causing pain and potentially requiring medical assistance. Hydronephrosis, the swelling of the kidney due to fluid buildup, can also be a reason to seek treatment

View allI'm a bit worried because my serum creatinine level came back as 1.5 in my report. Does this mean something's wrong? I saw a urologist, but they didn't mention anything about it. Should I be concerned?
A serum creatinine level of 1.5 mgdL is slightly elevated, as the normal range is typically 0.6-1.2 mgdL, but it's not alarmingly high; the urologist might not have flagged it as abnormal since it's mildly elevated, but it's essential to monitor kidney function and recheck creatinine levels to ensure it doesn't indicate underlying kidney issues.

I'm really worried about something that's been happening and I hope you can help me out. I had protected sex a while back and noticed the condom had slipped a bit. A few days later, I found small bumps on my penis and went to a dermatologist who said it's molluscum contagiosum. They suggested I get a blood test after six weeks to check for things like HIV. I did the tests and thankfully they all came back non-reactive. I've been using the imiquad solution and the bumps seem to be shrinking, which is a relief, but now I'm dealing with penile discharge whenever I pass stool. Do you know what might be causing this or what I should do?
Its good to hear that your molluscum is improving with treatment. However, penile discharge during bowel movements may indicate an underlying issue, such as urethritis or infection. It would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to rule out any additional concerns.

I have a varicose vein in my left scrotum and have been trying for a baby for the past 4 years. My semen test shows pus cells at 2025 hpf and motility is 30, but my wife's tests are all normal. Should I consider getting varicose vein surgery to improve my chances?
Varicocele surgery may improve fertility, especially with pus cells and poor motility—urologist consult is recommended.
