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 in a relationship, and while we do have intimate moments, I find myself not fully satisfied. I'm curious if there are any safe medical pills that can help increase stamina and possibly enhance the size of my partner's anus without causing any side effects. What would you recommend?

It's important to approach concerns about sexual satisfaction and stamina with open communication and care. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice, as there are no over-the-counter pills guaranteed to safely and effectively address these issues without potential side effects. They can guide you toward solutions that are safe and suitable for both of you.
