I have a 7mm kidney stone stuck in my right pelviureteric junction can medicines help pass it or is surgery the only option? What would you recommend?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 7mm kidney stone lodged in the right pelviureteric junction (the junction where the kidney connects to the ureter) is unlikely to pass naturally and often requires medical intervention. While medications can help with some types of kidney stones, they are generally ineffective for calcium stones, which are the most common type. Surgery is often recommended for stones of this size and location

View allI've found a painless ulcer where my penis head meets the foreskin, and it's really got me worried. I haven't had any sexual encounters in the last four months, just been on my own, you know, self-masturbation. What could be causing this?
Since you're experiencing an ulcer-like lesion, its important to get a proper diagnosis from a healthcare professional. They may take a swab or perform an examination to identify any infections or other underlying conditions. If it doesnt improve or if you experience pain, discharge, or other concerning symptoms, its best to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I had kidney stone surgery before and now there's a 10mm stone again causing occasional pain sometimes it's fine what treatment options do I have this is really urgent
For a 10mm kidney stone that's causing occasional pain, and with a history of previous surgery, treatment options include medical expulsive therapy (MET) with medications to help the stone pass, or a procedure like ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) to break up the stone with a laser. If the pain is severe or the stone is not passing, a more invasive procedure like percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) might be considered
