I have kidney stones measuring 1.2cm and 2.5cm, plus an 8mm and two smaller ones total of 5 stones in my left kidney. The doctor said I might need 2 or 3 surgeries, but I'm trying to avoid surgery and dissolve them naturally with ayurvedic tablets. Do these tablets actually work or is surgery the only option?

While ayurvedic tablets can play a role in managing kidney stones, especially in supporting the body's natural healing process, they are not a guaranteed solution for stones of this size and number. The stones you have (1.2cm, 2.5cm, 8mm, and two smaller) are large enough that surgery might be necessary, as suggested by your doctor.

I'm 21 and I'm having some trouble because I can't get it hard during sex. I used to masturbate a lot, and now I'm worried if all that is causing erectile dysfunction. Could that be the reason?

Excessive masturbation, especially if it becomes a frequent habit, can sometimes lead to temporary erectile dysfunction (ED) due to overstimulation or desensitization. However, ED at your age can also be influenced by factors like stress, anxiety, or relationship issues. It's important to focus on a balanced lifestyle and consult a healthcare provider if the issue persists.

I am 23 years old. can phimosis be correctedtreated without a surgery thank you. if yesno then please elaborate.

Yes, phimosis can often be treated without surgery, especially in mild to moderate cases. Non-surgical options include steroid creams and gentle stretching techniques. In some cases, more aggressive dilations using a balloon dilator might be needed. If these methods fail or the phimosis is severe, surgery (circumcision) may be recommended.

I have a 5.8 x 3.5 cm renal cyst in my right kidney and I'm looking for treatment options other than sclerotherapy or surgery. Are there any effective ayurvedic medicines, yoga, jogging, or homeopathy remedies that can help shrink or manage it? I'm a bit worried and want to explore natural alternatives first.

While natural therapies like Ayurveda, yoga, jogging, and homeopathy may offer supportive benefits, they are unlikely to shrink or eliminate a renal cyst of this size (5.8 x 3.5 cm) on their own. Ayurveda may help manage symptoms and improve kidney health, while yoga and exercise can support overall well-being. However, for a cyst of this size, medical intervention, such as sclerotherapy or surgery, might be necessary to address any potential complications or significant discomfort
