I have two kidney stones one is a 13mm stone in my right lower ureter near the iliac vessels with moderate hydroureteronephrosis, and the other is a 5mm stone in the lower pole of my left kidney. My creatinine is 1.13, urea is 18, and uric acid is 8. Is there any chance I can dissolve or pass these stones without surgery? My urologist is recommending urgent surgery because of the swelling in my right ureter, but I'd really like to avoid surgery if possible. Could ESWL be an option for me instead?

It's understandable that you'd want to explore non-surgical options for your kidney stones, especially with the 13mm stone causing moderate hydroureteronephrosis. While the 5mm stone might be a candidate for watchful waiting, the larger stone in your right ureter likely requires a more active approach. ESWL is a possibility for the right ureteral stone, but its effectiveness and suitability depend on factors like stone composition and location. Given the moderate hydroureteronephrosis, your urologist's concern for urgent intervention is justified.

View allI'm thinking about getting a frenuloplasty, and I've got a few questions. How much should I expect it to cost, and how long will it take for me to recover completely? I'm also a bit anxious about the pain level after the surgery. Is it going to be really intense? Appreciate any advice you can give!
Frenuloplasty surgery typically costs between $500 to $2,000, depending on factors like the clinic, location, and complexity of the procedure. Recovery usually takes about 1-2 weeks, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days. Pain is usually manageable with over-the-counter medications, and any discomfort typically subsides after the first few days.

I've been experiencing a tickling sensation when I urinate, along with the frequent urge to go every 30 minutes, for the last 56 days. Every time I finish, it feels a bit like a mini orgasm. Sometimes it gets a little itchy, but there's no blood or burning sensation. I've been drinking around 7-8 glasses of water a day, eating home-cooked meals that aren't too oily or spicy. Everything else seems normal. Should I be worried or get this checked out?
It sounds like you might be experiencing mild irritation or possibly a urinary tract infection (UTI), which can cause the sensations you're describing. Even though there's no burning or blood, the frequent urge to urinate and tickling sensation can still be signs of a UTI or another issue. If it persists, I would recommend consulting a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
