Question 1

I've had a 12mm kidney stone that showed up on a CT scan on 8417, and although I didn't have issues with it at first, I've been dealing with constant back pain for the past three days, especially after eating or drinking anything. I thought it might be muscle pain and took ibuprofen, but that only made things worse. Last week, I felt nauseous and vomited for three days straight, and while I haven't vomited since 9617, the nausea is still hanging around. I'm starting to worry and wonder if it's time to see a doctor or head to the ER. Is the ER the best choice in my situation?

Accepted Answer

Patient may require surgery since the stone size is 12mm, surgery opinion for further management.

Question 2

My dad is 61 and was just diagnosed with bladder cancer I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Should we consider surgery or would chemo be a better option for him?

Accepted Answer

It's understandable to be worried when a loved one is diagnosed with cancer. The best approach for your dad's bladder cancer will depend on the specific stage, grade, and type of cancer, as well as his overall health. Both surgery and chemotherapy can be effective treatment options, and the choice will depend on a variety of factors that your doctor will discuss with you.

Question 3

I'm worried about whether I might have Frenulum breve. I can't fully retract my foreskin when my penis is erect, but I can do it when it's semi-erect or flaccid. Is that enough reason to think I have this condition?

Accepted Answer

-Frenulum breve is when the frenulum (the band under the penis head) is too short, limiting foreskin retraction, especially during an erection. If you can retract it only on a flaccid or semi-erect penis, it could be a sign, but it's best to consult a doc

I'm dealing with bilateral varicocele grade 2, and I'm wondering if varicocele embolization is a good option for me. Could you give me some advice on whether it's the right path to take?

Yes its better to get tretated rather than waiting for it to become worse,visit Urologist for the same
