I have an 8mm left mid pole kidney stone and really want to avoid surgery. Can medicines like potrate mb6 dissolve it or are there other alternatives that might work?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
An 8mm kidney stone is quite large to dissolve with medications like Potrate MB6, which mainly help with pain and supporting kidney function but don’t dissolve stones. Usually, stones over 6mm often require intervention like shock wave lithotripsy or minimally invasive procedures. Please consult a urologist to discuss the best non-surgical or surgical options based on your condition.

View allI'm experiencing some discoloration on the glans of my penis and suspect it might be balanitis. I'm just unsure if I should see a urologist or another type of specialist. Could you advise on who would be the right doctor to consult for this issue?
For balanitis, you can consult a Urologist. They can prescribe you an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole to apply on the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry is important for recovery.

I'm noticing that my penis tends to lean to the right side, both when it's erect and when it's not. Plus, one of my testicles seems larger than the other. I recently masturbated for the first time in 56 days, and I felt pain during both masturbation and ejaculation. I'm feeling pretty worried about all this and wondering what could be going on with me. What should I do?
You should know that to form a semen lot of energy is utilised in the body and in masturbation again lot of calories is burned, so if done excessively might cause fatigue and tiredness. During this act, due to excessive force there might be injury to the genitals. There are evidences which suggest that excessive masturbation might aggravate hair loss and it might cause premature ejaculation which will cause difficulties in concieving in the future. So I suggest you to do yoga and mainly meditation to have some willpower to control your habit. Try to engage in some athletic activities wity your friends.try to be invovled with your family which gives you a grounded atmosphere. If possible try to study in a library or do a combined study, just the fear of getting caught will itself might act beneficial. If you are still not satisfied kindly consult a physician for further managemen

I'm a 21-year-old guy with a tight foreskin, and it's making me nervous about sex because I'm worried it'll hurt. I've been thinking about circumcision but don't know much about the procedure or what to expect after. Should I bring someone with me when I get it done, and roughly how much does it cost in Bangalore? Also, how long does recovery usually take? I really want to get this sorted soon since it's been bothering me a lot.
Consult a local surgeon. It's a minor surgery.
