Question 1

My dad just had an ultrasound done, and they found an 11 mm stone in his right kidney. He's not feeling any pain or discomfort right now. Should we be considering surgery, or are there medications that might help with this? What do you think?

Accepted Answer

11mm is a big stone. It is unlikely to pass on its own. Better to get it removed

Question 2

I've been diagnosed with a 56mm kidney stone but haven't had any pain for the last few hours - is this size too big to pass naturally or will I need surgery

Accepted Answer

needs P/E for better advice.

Question 3

I've had a slow urine flow since childhood and was recently diagnosed with bladder outlet obstruction or high bladder neck. The doctor said surgery isn't suitable for my age right now. Are there any permanent homeopathy treatments or safe medicines that can improve urine flow without harming my kidneys?

Accepted Answer

A bladder neck obstruction may occur at birth due to connective tissue or muscle issues. This can cause a severe obstruction of the upper urinary tract and can lead to kidney malfunction, which can sometimes be fatal Homeopathy may offer some relief for the symptoms of bladder outlet syndrome (BOO), but it is not a cure for the underlying condition. While homeopathy can be helpful in managing symptoms like frequent urination and discomfort associated with bladder infections (cystitis), it cannot address the physical blockage or structural issues causing BOO

I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable situation here. An ant bit me on the penis, and now it's all swollen. What should I do or use for this?

It seems like the swelling is due to an allergic reaction to the ant bite. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and use a mild hydrocortisone cream or an antihistamine cream like calamine lotion to soothe the area. If the swelling worsens or you experience severe discomfort, consult a doctor.
