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.

I'm 24 and I've been masturbating for the past six years. Lately, I've noticed that the shaft of my penis isn't as soft as it used to be. There's also this numb and itchy feeling that comes with it, and its been worrying me. I stopped masturbating for a bit to see if things would get better, but I haven't noticed any changes. Should I be talking to a dermatologist or a urologist about this?

I'm interested in getting a Shilajit product but feel a bit confused about which brand to choose. Also, I'm wondering whether the capsule form or liquid form would be better for boosting sexual health, improving immunity, and increasing stamina. Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.
Shilajit is a potent herbal supplement often used for boosting stamina, immunity, and sexual health. The best form depends on personal preference; liquid Shilajit is typically more bioavailable, but capsules offer convenience. When choosing a brand, look for one that offers pure, sustainably sourced Shilajit with third-party testing for quality and safety.
