I'm a 34-year-old male with a 9mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I have to travel abroad this month Is there any way to treat it without surgery I'm really worried about this
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While a 9mm kidney stone might typically require surgery, there are some non-surgical options to consider, especially if travel is a concern. One possibility is shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which uses sound waves to break down the stone into smaller pieces that can pass through the urinary tract. Another option is ureteroscopy, where a small camera is inserted through the urethra to locate and remove the stone, or to break it down with laser or other tools.

I've noticed that sometimes when I'm running or working out, I get a bit of pre-cum leaking. I'm a 23-year-old guy and it's not happening every time, but still enough to make me concerned. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be worried about this?
The pre-cum leakage during running or workout is likely due to increased blood flow and physical stimulation, which can cause involuntary seminal emissions; consider wearing snug-fitting underwear or athletic supporters to reduce friction and pressure, and if the issue persists, consult a urologist or healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions like overactive bladder or prostate issues.
