I'm really worried because I'm dealing with pain in the area between my testicles and rectum. I've noticed it's swollen, and when I touch it, the pain gets worse. Can you tell me what might be going on or what I should do to help it?

It sounds like you may have an infection or inflammation, such as **epididymitis** or **prostatitis**, which could explain the pain and swelling. I recommend avoiding pressure on the area, using warm compresses for relief, and consulting a doctor promptly for evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics.

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'm newly married, and it's been over a week now that I'm struggling to connect with my wife when it comes to our sexual relationship. I think it might be due to ignorance on my part, and I'm really looking to get some advice or consultation on how to improve things. Can you help guide me on this?

It's completely normal to face challenges in communication and intimacy early in a marriage. I recommend having an open and honest conversation with your wife to understand each other's needs, comfort levels, and concerns. Seeking guidance from a professional counselor or therapist can also be helpful in improving coordination and building a healthy, respectful relationship.
