I just got my ultrasound report showing a tiny kidney stone in the right middle calyx and a 6mm UVJ stone on the left side with mild hydroureteronephrosis - how serious is this? Can these stones pass naturally or will I need surgery?

Less than 10 % stones of size more than 6mm pass spontaneously... Try drinking more water.... Consult a Nephrologist.. You will medications to aid in passing the stone..

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Consult a Urologist

I'm dealing with tight foreskin that covers the head of my penis and it's painful when I try to pull it back. I'm 21 and wondering if circumcision is still an option at this age. Also, if I don't get it done, could it cause problems later during sex?

circumcision is advised,surgery is advised.

I'm experiencing something strange and I'm a bit confused about it. Lately, I've noticed that every time I sit down to eat a meal, like lunch or dinner, I end up with a pretty intense erection. I can't figure out why this is happening. Could this be normal or is there something I should be concerned about?
