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.

Did having dengue fever six months ago have any long-term effects on my sex life? I've been worried if it might still be impacting my health in some way. I'm just not sure if that's why things feel a bit different now. Could there be any connection?

Dengue fever itself does not directly affect one's sex life, but the physical and emotional exhaustion, fatigue, and weakness that can linger for several months after recovery may impact libido, erectile function

How can I stop frequent urination?

Avoiding drinking fluids before bed. Cutting back on alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners and acidic foods or beverages. Doing pelvic floor exercises (like Kegels) to help build your pelvic health. Trying bladder retraining techniques, such as urinating at fixed intervals that gradually increase.
