I'm dealing with pain in my stomach and kidney because of a 7 mm stone in my left kidney. Could you tell me if I need surgery to get rid of the stone or are there other options I should consider?

View allI've been dealing with prostate swelling that causes pain when I pee and during sex. My urologist prescribed GeripodD tablets but the issue keeps coming back frequently. I can't hold my urine for long because of the pain. The swelling is only on the right side with no testicle enlargement. Is there any way to treat this without surgery or maybe through laparoscopic methods?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm going through a really tough time with my kidney stones and I have surgery set for March 9. Theyve got me on 800mg of ibuprofen, but I've been down with what they suspect is the flu for over a week now. My blood work showed AST levels at 103 and ALT at 158 on Feb 14, then a week later they were up to AST 135, ALT 182, with Alkaline phosphate at 126. My potassium levels are also low, and to add to it, I don't have a gallbladder, but an ultrasound didnt show anything unusual. I'm also struggling with obesity and trying to get that under control. It feels like it might just be fatty tissue. Any thoughts on all this?
Given your elevated liver enzymes (AST and ALT), low potassium, and upcoming kidney stone surgery, it's essential to consult your doctor about adjusting your ibuprofen dosage, as it may be exacerbating liver strain, and also discuss potential underlying causes, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is common in obese individuals, and ensure your potassium levels are monitored and managed to prevent complications.

I'm dealing with a problem related to my penis. When it gets erect, the foreskin tends to fit tightly just below the top. I've been considering circumcision to remove some of the foreskin. I'm not sure who I should consult in Ahmedabad or which clinic to visit for this. Could you give me some guidance or advice?
You can visit General SURGEON for this issue.
