I'm a 27-year-old male dealing with an overactive bladder and urge incontinence. My urologist prescribed meds that helped but caused hard stools and anal fissures. After switching meds, the same issue came back, and I even had to get surgery for the fissure. The doctor says there are only two types of bladder-relaxing meds available, and both cause dry mouth and constipation. I'm really anxious because this feels never-ending are there really no other options that won't give me these side effects? My life has become so difficult because of this.

While the commonly prescribed medications for overactive bladder may cause side effects like constipation and dry mouth, it's not necessarily true that no other options exist. There are several alternative approaches to managing overactive bladder and urge incontinence, including lifestyle modifications, bladder training techniques, and other medical interventions like Botox injections or nerve stimulation, which might be worth exploring with your urologist.

Can I make my penis longer and thicker with surgery and how much would it cost if it's possible
Yes, penile enlargement surgery is a possibility to increase both length and girth, but it's important to understand that it's often considered a cosmetic procedure and not a medical necessity. The cost can vary greatly, depending on the specific procedure, the surgeon's experience, and location, but it can range from tens of thousands of Rupees to hundreds of thousands of Rupees.

I'm really starting to worry about this sharp pain in my lower left abdomen that spreads towards my groin. The ultrasound showed a 5.9 mm stone in my left mid ureter, around the L5S1 level, and there's some mild hydronephrosis in my left kidney with the upper ureter being dilated. A urologist suggested urgent ureteroscopy, but I decided to try some home remedies instead. After about ten days, I had another ultrasound and it seems like the stone is now in the lower ureter just below where the iliac vessels cross, but there's still mild hydronephrosis and this proximal hydroureter situation going on. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible and would prefer to try medication. Is that a viable option, or should I prepare for the ureteroscopy?
