Question 1

I'm having issues with both urination and ejaculation. My urine flow and the speed of ejaculation seem to be slower than usual, and I think this might be affecting our chances of conceiving. My doctor mentioned something about a urethral stricture and suggested surgery. I'm just really anxious about all this and looking for some guidance. Could you shed some light on what this means and if surgery is the only option?

Accepted Answer

-It sounds like you're experiencing a challenging situation with both urination and ejaculation. A urethral stricture can indeed affect flow and function, and surgery is often recommended to help resolve it. It might be helpful to discuss all available tr

Question 2

I've had a hernia on the left side of my groin for a while, and recently noticed my spermatocele in the upper scrotum has gotten bigger. The hernia has been a bit painful the last few days, and the spermatocele seems to have grown around the same time. Could the hernia be causing the spermatocele to increase in size? If I get hernia surgery, will that help with the spermatocele too? Are there any non-surgical treatments for spermatocele that might help?

Accepted Answer

Apollo is best for it.

Question 3

I'm really starting to worry about this sharp pain in my lower left abdomen that spreads towards my groin. The ultrasound showed a 5.9 mm stone in my left mid ureter, around the L5S1 level, and there's some mild hydronephrosis in my left kidney with the upper ureter being dilated. A urologist suggested urgent ureteroscopy, but I decided to try some home remedies instead. After about ten days, I had another ultrasound and it seems like the stone is now in the lower ureter just below where the iliac vessels cross, but there's still mild hydronephrosis and this proximal hydroureter situation going on. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible and would prefer to try medication. Is that a viable option, or should I prepare for the ureteroscopy?

Accepted Answer

Severe mouth ulcers can be painful and frustrating. Given your current treatment, here are some additional suggestions:

*Additional Remedies*

1. *Topical anesthetics*: Apply a topical anesthetic like Orajel or Lidocaine to numb the area and reduce pain.
2. *Antimicrobial mouthwash*: Use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine to reduce bacterial growth and promote healing.
3. *Aloe vera gel*: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
4. *Vitamin C supplements*: Take vitamin C supplements to boost your immune system and promote collagen synthesis.

*Dietary Changes*

1. *Soft food diet*: Stick to a soft food diet to minimize irritation and discomfort.
2. *Avoid spicy and acidic foods*: Avoid consuming spicy, acidic, or sharp foods that can irritate the ulcer.
3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist and promote healing.

*Medical Consultation*

If your mouth ulcer doesn't show signs of improvement within the next 2-3 days, consult your doctor or a dentist for further evaluation and treatment. They may prescribe additional medications or treatments to promote healing.

I'm dealing with some itching and redness on the head of my penis, and it really hurts when I pull back the foreskin. I'm not considering circumcision, but I'm unsure if I should see a dermatologist or a urologist for this. What would you recommend?
