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

View allI'm really into sex and usually have a great time, but I've noticed that after the first round, it takes me more than 5 hours to get an erection again. It's starting to worry me. Any advice on what might be going on or how I can improve this?
It's normal for recovery time after sex (the refractory period) to vary between individuals, and it may lengthen with age or fatigue. Staying hydrated, reducing stress, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help. If the issue persists, consult a doctor to rule out hormonal or circulation-related concerns.

My dad has a 60mm prostate are there any medicines or treatments that can help without needing surgery? He's really worried about going under the knife. What options do we have?
Yes, there are several nonsurgical options to treat an enlarged prostate (60mm). These include medications and procedures like Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE), GreenLight laser therapy, and UroLift. Medications can help relax the prostate and bladder muscles, while PAE and laser therapy can reduce the prostate's size

I'm really concerned because I've noticed that my penis seems smaller, and the skin doesn't move back at all. Plus, there are red patches appearing at the tip that seem like an infection. Could you give me some advice on what this might be or how I could treat it?
Diagnosis* 1. *Phimosis*: A condition where the foreskin is tight and cannot be retracted over the glans penis. 2. *Balanitis*: An inflammation of the glans penis, which can cause red patches, itching, and discharge. 3. *Genital warts or other STIs*: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). *Treatment Advice* 1. *Consult a urologist or dermatologist*: Schedule an appointment with a specialist to confirm the diagnosis and receive personalized treatment. 2. *Topical creams or ointments*: For balanitis, your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, or miconazole. 3. *Antibiotics or antivirals*: If an STI is suspected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics or antivirals to treat the underlying infection. 4. *Circumcision or preputioplasty*: If phimosis is diagnosed, your doctor may recommend circumcision or preputioplasty to loosen the foreskin. 5. *Good genital hygiene*: Practice good genital hygiene by keeping the area clean, avoiding harsh soaps, and wearing loose-fitting clothing. *Additional Tips* 1. *Avoid self-medication*: Refrain from using over-the-counter creams or ointments without consulting a doctor. 2. *Practice safe sex*: Use condoms to prevent the transmission of STIs. 3. *Follow-up appointments*: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor treatment progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
