I'm dealing with a kidney stone that's about 98 MM for the past two months, and I'm not experiencing severe pain. Is it really possible for the stone to pass without treatment? Everyone says it might come back even after treatment. Are there specific foods I should avoid to help with this, like someone suggested steering clear of tomatoes? I've been drinking more water and tender coconut water daily for the last two months, and thankfully, I'm only feeling a bit of pain now. I also try to walk and do some small exercises in the morning. The doctor mentioned the stone is nearly 1 cm, so I'm wondering if it can pass without treatment. Could you give me some advice on all these concerns?

Kidney stones of 9-10mm usually don't pass on their own without treatment, especially if there is no severe pain. While drinking plenty of water and staying active are great for kidney health, it's important to follow your doctor's advice for treatment. To avoid recurrence, limit foods high in oxalates (like spinach, beets, and chocolate), salt, and animal protein. Regular check-ups are crucial for monitoring your condition.

I've got a small cut on my frenulum; its not bleeding, but its a bit painful. I'm just wondering, is it okay to apply Neosporin on it?

For a small, non-bleeding cut on the frenulum, apply gentle care: clean with mild soap and lukewarm water, pat dry, and apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to promote healing and prevent infection; however, if pain increases, or you notice signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus), consult a healthcare professional or urologist for further guidance.
