I have multiple stones up to 6.7 mm in size do I need to take medication or is surgery necessary? Looking for advice from a gastroenterology specialist on the best way to handle this
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For multiple kidney stones up to 6.7 mm, a gastroenterologist (who deals primarily with the digestive system) may not be the most appropriate specialist. Urologists, who specialize in the urinary system, are better equipped to manage kidney stones. While medication can sometimes help smaller stones pass on their own, larger stones like yours may require more intervention, potentially including procedures like lithotripsy or ureteroscopy.

View allI'm really worried because my penis is only 3.5 inches when erect, and I recently had sex where my partner said it felt small and she couldn't really feel anything. On top of that, I came in about 5 minutes. I'm feeling pretty down about it all and don't know what to do. Can you offer any advice or help?
It's important to remember that every individual has different preferences, and sexual satisfaction isn't solely dependent on size. If you're concerned, you might want to focus on improving communication with your partner, exploring other ways to enhance intimacy, and perhaps seeking advice from a healthcare professional about performance or techniques. It's also helpful to address any anxiety or stress around sexual performance.

Is it possible to pass a 6mm kidney stone without needing surgery doc I'm really worried about this and want to know my options
Around 90% of small kidney stones (smaller than 6 mm) and 60% of large stones (larger than 6 mm) pass on their own. If you have a large kidney stone or one that's blocking the flow of pee, you'll need to have a procedure to break up and/or remove it
