I woke up this morning with really bad pain and found out I have a 10mm stone stuck in my ureter at the EVJ. I'm worried I might need surgery. Is there a chance homeopathic medicine could help me avoid surgery? And if it doesnt work, would a lithotripsy be a good alternative? My whole family has issues with uric acid, so I think it might be a uric acid stone.

For a 10mm calculi stuck in the ureter, it is unlikely that homeopathic medicines alone will be effective in passing the stone. Surgery may be necessary in this case, especially if the stone is causing severe pain or obstruction. Lithotripsy, a procedure that uses shock waves to break up the stone, may be a suitable option for a 10mm stone. However, the choice of treatment will depend on various factors including the specific characteristics of the stone and your overall health. It is important to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm 20 and I've been hitting the gym regularly, but there's something that's been bothering menightfall with wet dreams, and it's happening 5 to 6 times a month. Could you let me know if this might affect my gym workouts and what I can do to manage or reduce it? I want to stay focused on my goals, so any solutions you could share would be really helpful.

Nightfall with wet dreams is a common issue among young adults. To address this, you can try medications like Tab. Himalaya Confido 1 tablet twice daily for 1 month. Additionally, practicing good sleep hygiene, reducing stress, and avoiding stimulating activities before bedtime may also help reduce the frequency of nightfall. As for its effect on your gym workout, nightfall does not directly impact physical performance or muscle growth. However, ensuring you get adequate rest and recovery is essential for optimal gym performance.
