I recently got an ultrasound done, and it showed that my left kidneys upper calyx is 6.5 cm and the middle calyx is 4 mm. Should I be worried about this causing future problems? Also, I've been taking K Mac B6 syrup for my kidney stones. Could there be any side effects from using this syrup regularly? Would really appreciate some advice.

-It seems like your ultrasound shows a 6.5 cm size in the upper calyx of the left kidney and a 4 mm stone in the middle calyx. While the larger size might need monitoring, the 4 mm stone is small and could pass on its own. K Mac B6 syrup is generally safe

I've been having some pain in my left testicle on and off. What could be causing this?
Pain in the left testicle that comes and goes can be caused by various factors, such as **muscle strain**, **epididymitis** (inflammation of the epididymis), or even **testicular torsion**, although the latter is typically more sudden and severe. If the pain persists or is accompanied by swelling or other symptoms, it's important to see a healthcare provider for an evaluation and to rule out any serious conditions.

I've noticed a red thin worm, kind of like a thread, when I pee at night. It's freaking me out a bit, and I'm itching with pretty frequent discharges. Plus, I have diabetes, so I'm worried if it's related. What should I do?
The presence of a thin, red, thread-like worm in your urine, accompanied by itching and frequent discharges, may indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI) or a parasitic infection like filariasis or schistosomiasis; as a diabetic, you're more prone to UTIs, so consult your healthcare provider or a urologist promptly for a thorough evaluation, including urine tests and possibly imaging studies, to determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or antiparasitic medications.
