View allI'm a 37-year-old male who developed a urethral stricture after laparoscopic surgery for a urethral stone. Right now, it's just starting and I only have minor issues like slight difficulty passing urine. I really don't want to go through another surgery are there any homeopathic treatments that could help manage this?
homeopathic treatments may provide some relief for certain conditions, there is currently no scientific evidence to support their use for urethral strictures. Urethral strictures are typically managed through surgical interventions like dilation, urethrotomy, or reconstructive surgery (urethroplasty). Given the potential for progression and complications, it's crucial to consult with a urologist to discuss the best course of action for your specific condition.

I've just got my urine test results back and it mentions something about PUS cells being 56 hpf. My doctor said it's a UTI. What should I be doing to treat it, and is there anything I should be worried about?
For a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) diagnosis with 5-6 pus cellshpf, your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics, such as Nitrofurantoin, Ciprofloxacin, or Amoxicillin, for 3-7 days to clear the infection; also, drink plenty of water, urinate when needed, and practice good hygiene; potential risk factors if left untreated include kidney damage, recurrent infections, and sepsis, so complete the full antibiotic course and follow up

My mom has been having really sharp pain on her left side and threw up a few times. The ultrasound showed a 7mm stone in her upper left ureter. Is surgery the only way to get rid of it or can medicines help pass the stone naturally?
While 7mm kidney stones often require intervention, it's not always surgery. Medication, like alpha-blockers, can help relax the ureter and aid natural passage, especially with supportive measures like hydration and pain management. However, depending on the stone's location, size, and your mom's overall health, surgery might still be the best option.
