I'm dealing with balanitis and it's been bothering me for a few days now. I'm really looking for some advice on how to treat it. Are there any ointments you could suggest that might help with the healing process?

My ultrasound report shows a 6mm calculus in the right lower ureter, about 1 cm from the UVJ. Do I really need laparoscopic surgery for this or are there other options? I'm a bit worried about the procedure and wondering if it's absolutely necessary.

A 6mm ureteric stone close to UVJ usually passes with meds‚Äîsurgery is for pain, infection, or if not passed in 2‚Äì4 weeks.

My dad had prostate surgery on June 25th and the doctor said he recovered well with no issues. But since yesterday, he's been passing small clots in his urine and it's slightly reddish at first before turning clear. He doesn't have any pain and hasn't overexerted himself. Should we be concerned about this?

urine culture and sensitivity is advised to the patient.
