I have a 9mm stone in my right ureter and I'm really worried. Can it pass naturally if I drink a lot of water or is surgery the only option? I get pain and vomiting often but not constantly. Are there any natural remedies that might help? I really don't want to go through surgery if possible.

A 9mm kidney stone in the right ureter can be managed through medical intervention or surgery, depending on the stone's composition and your symptoms. While drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, can help, it might not be sufficient for a stone of that size. It's recommended to seek medical advice, as other treatments like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or ureteroscopy might be necessary

View allI had a circumcision done about 3 weeks ago and it seems like it's healed. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have intercourse now? How long should I wait before it's safe to do so after the procedure?
It's great to hear that your circumcision has healed. Typically, it's recommended to wait around **4 to 6 weeks** after the procedure to ensure full healing before engaging in intercourse. However, if you're feeling comfortable and have no pain or discomfort, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor to ensure everything is healing well before proceeding.

I have multiple kidney stones with mild hydronephrosis my KUB sonography shows a 15mm right PUJ calculus causing mild hydronephrosis and a few small left renal calyceal stones plus a 9mm distal ureteric calculus causing mild proximal hydroureteronephrosis My urologist recommended laser lithotripsy with stent placement but I'm wondering if homeopathy or ayurveda can help avoid surgery The doctor said it needs urgent removal due to the hydronephrosis but how long can I delay it Is a 15mm PUJ stone too big for homeopathic treatment
Surgery recommended methods are shock wave lithotripsy,ureteroscopy,percutaneous nephrolitomy etc depending on the stone size.Here ureteroscopy is advised.

I've noticed these red dots appearing on the head of my penis, and they tend to vanish after a couple of days only to come back again. It's weird because when they show up, I get a mild burning feeling, but there's no itching. Do you have any idea what might be causing this cycle of disappearing and reappearing red dots?
