I'm a bit concerned because an ant bit me on the skin of my penis head. There's no itching or anything like that, but it seems to have swelled a lot. Not sure what to do, can you help?

Prominent hila on an X-ray can indicate:

  1. Lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes)
  2. Pulmonary hypertension
  3. Cardiac enlargement
  4. Infection (e.g., tuberculosis)
  5. Tumor or cancer

It's not necessarily a structural fault

My dad is scheduled for laser surgery to treat his urinary bladder stone and prostate issue, but the surgeon mentioned he won't operate on the left kidney stone because it's small around 5.5mm. The report also mentioned a cortical cyst, which the surgeon says isn't a stone, but we thought it was a 15mm stone. Can you clarify what this cortical cyst is and what we should do about it?

He just needs prostrate surgery and bladder stone removal. As his left kidney stone is very small and doesn't require surgical intervention. Nothing to worry about cortical cyst.
