I have a 9.5 mm stone in my right kidney and a 4.5 mm one in the left can these pass naturally or do I need meds to help break them down? Really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Stones under 5 mm often pass naturally; 9.5 mm may need lithotripsy or stenting. Hydration, tamsulosin, and pain control are important until reviewed by a urologist.

I'm noticing a vein in the lower part of my right penis that looks pretty concerning. Ive attached some photos for reference. Do you think I should see a doctor about it, or is it nothing to worry about? Everything else seems fine; my erections and ejaculations are normal. I also masturbate pretty regularly, about 3 to 4 times a day. What do you think?
