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 having an issue where I finish really quickly the first time I have sex, but then after about an hour, I can last much longer, like 45 minutes. This leaves my partner unsatisfied after the first round. I'm really looking for ways to last longer the first time. What can I do to improve this?

1. _Skin Irritation_: Combining two products with different active ingredients can increase the risk of skin irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning. 2. _Unstable pH Levels_: Eskinol and Myra-E may have different pH levels, which can disrupt the skin's natural pH balance when combined. 3. _Ineffective or Reduced Efficacy_: Mixing two products can dilute or alter their individual effects, reducing their overall efficacy. _Instead_ 1. _Use products separately_: Apply Eskinol and Myra-E separately, following their individual instructions and recommendations. 2. _Consult a dermatologist_: If you're unsure about combining products or have specific skin concerns, consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

My mom is 62 and diabetic recently got tested for a UTI and her report showed pus cells at 1015 but the urine culture came back negative for bacteria. She had her bladder removed a few years ago in surgery. Could the negative culture still mean an infection or what else might be causing the high pus cells?

continue tablet ceftas 200 mg per orally twice daily for 7 days ,culture and sensitivity of urine is advised.

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed some small white lumps in my semen when I ejaculate after masturbating. Can anyone help me figure out what might be going on?

These small lumps you are noticing in your semen could be due to a few different reasons. One possibility is that they are sperm clumps, which can be normal and not a cause for concern. However, if these lumps are accompanied by pain, swelling, or changes in your semen consistency, it could be a sign of an underlying issue such as an infection or inflammation of the prostate or seminal vesicles. I recommend you to consult a doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.
