I recently found out I have a 7mm stone in my left kidney, and I'm worried about whether it's dangerous or not. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery, so are there any good treatments out there for this? Would love to hear more about my options.

7mm renal calculi definitely needs surgical management.... any blockage of urinary flow due to calculi wil lead to infection or hydronephrosis . kindly consult urologist and get treated...

I'm really worried because I've been having these pus cells in my urine and dealing with body aches, fever, and feeling really dehydrated. It's been burning when I pass urine too, which is super uncomfortable. I already tried some allopathic medicine, but it didn't help at all. Can you tell me what might be going on and what I should do next?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a urinary tract infection (UTI), which can cause the symptoms you're describing, such as fever, body pain, dehydration, and burning during urination. Since the alopathic medication hasn't provided relief, I recommend revisiting your doctor for further evaluation and possibly a different treatment approach or additional tests to address the infection effectively.

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.
