I'm dealing with kidney stones in both kidneys, each about 34 mm, and I'm experiencing severe pain in my left flank and back. I tried taking Drotin, but it didn't help. The stones are in the upper pole of my left kidney. What should I do next? Any advice would be appreciated!

Most kidney stones won't require invasive treatment. You may be able to pass a small stone by:
Drinking water. Drinking as much as 2 to 3 liters a day may help flush out your urinary system. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, drink enough fluid mostly water to produce clear or nearly clear urine....Pain relievers. Passing a small stone can cause some discomfort.

I'm really concerned about my urine test results. It shows pus cells at 24 hpf, epithelial cells at 35 hpf, and ketones are present, but everything else seems normal. What does this mean exactly? Should I be worried about these numbers?
since ketones are present kindly check your sugar levels

I've been experiencing something strange and I'd love some advice. Every time I drink water, I feel the need to pee quite soon after, like every 15 to 20 minutes. Its almost like I have to force it at the end to feel like I'm done. Plus, there's this dull pain in my lower right abdomen that sometimes radiates to my penis. It's uncomfortable, but after a while, it does go away. Also, I've noticed a feeling of swelling inside my stomach on the right lower side. Any idea what could be causing this?
Pelvic pain can radiate to the penis and surrounding areas. _Possible Connections_ 1. _Referred pain_: Pain from the lower abdomen (possibly related to IBS) can refer to the penis and pelvic area. 2. _Pelvic floor muscle tension_: IBS can lead to pelvic floor muscle tension, which may cause pain in the penis and surrounding areas. 3. _Neurological overlap_: The nerves that transmit pain signals from the abdomen and pelvis can overlap, causing pain to radiate to the penis. _Other Possible Causes_ 1. _Prostatitis_: Inflammation of the prostate gland can cause pain in the penis, pelvic area, and lower abdomen. 2. _Urethritis_: Inflammation of the urethra can cause pain while urinating, which may radiate to the penis and pelvic area. 3. _Musculoskeletal issues_: Tightness or strain in the pelvic floor muscles, lower back, or abdominal muscles can cause referred pain to the penis. _What to Do_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a urologist to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause. 2. _Manage IBS symptoms_: Continue to manage your IBS symptoms through diet, stress management, and medication (if prescribed). 3. _Pelvic floor physical therapy_: Consider consulting a pelvic floor physical therapist to help manage pelvic floor muscle tension and alleviate pain.
