I have a 9.2 mm stone in my left kidney can it pass with medicine or will I need surgery? I'm worried about the size and if it's too big to remove naturally. What are my options?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For larger stones (> 4 mm), medical treatment is often required to enable kidney stones to be passed through the body. Common methods of care include soundwave therapy, surgery, and using a ureteroscope.

View allI'm really confused about my recent health diagnoses and I hope you can give me some guidance. I was told I have Herpes simplex igg with a score of 2.78, but I haven't noticed any pimples, scars, or redness anywhere around my genitals or face. However, I've been experiencing tickling sensations in my penis and saw blood in my semen during intercourse. Alongside this, I've been diagnosed with chlamydia and took the meds my doctor prescribed, but I'm still noticing a cloudy liquid discharge from time to time. The burning sensation is gone, but I'm not sure what steps I should take next to deal with herpes. Any advice on how to manage or understand these symptoms better?
For the treatment of herpes simplex virus infection, you can consider taking antiviral medications such as Valtrex or Acyclovir. These medications can help in reducing the frequency and severity of herpes outbreaks. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate medication and dosage for your specific condition. Additionally, practicing safe sex and maintaining good personal hygiene can also help in managing herpes outbreaks.

I'm really having trouble getting an erection lately no matter what I try, from watching porn to sexting or even phone sex, nothing seems to work. It's starting to worry me, and I feel like I've tried everything. Could there be something wrong or something I'm missing?
It's understandable to feel concerned about this. Difficulty in achieving an erection can be due to stress, anxiety, lifestyle factors, or underlying health issues like hormonal imbalances or circulatory problems. Please consider consulting a doctor to evaluate potential causes and explore effective treatments.

I've had a burning sensation when peeing ever since my C-section and catheter removal six years ago, but my cystoscopy showed everything was normal. What could be causing this ongoing issue?
A persistent burning sensation when peeing after a C-section and catheter removal, even after a normal cystoscopy, could be due to several factors, including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, urethral stricture, or chronic inflammation related to the surgery. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the cause and appropriate treatment
