I'm dealing with this terrible pain because of a 3.5 mm kidney stone in my right kidney that has been hurting like crazy for the last two weeks. I met a doctor, but they just suggested painkiller injections and said that the stone is too small for an operation. They did recommend some blood tests, and I'm not sure what to make of the results. Is the pain only because of the kidney stone, or could it be something else? Should I consider surgery anyway, or are there medications or precautions that could help? Also, could you suggest a good nephrologist in Kolkata who might be able to help me? If theres a specific diet I should follow, Id love to know about that too. I'm really struggling here, and it's affecting my work a lot.

Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone. Avoid foods high in oxalates such as spinach, beets, and nuts, as they can contribute to the formation of kidney stones. As for the abnormal blood test results, your elevated WBC count and low MCHC may indicate an infection. It would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible antibiotic treatment if deemed necessary. You can request your doctor to prescribe moderate to strong painkillers to achieve relief from pain.

I've been dealing with weak erections and really early ejaculation, which I think might be from a lot of masturbation during my teenage years. It's super frustrating, and I'm just wondering how I can fix this issue now. Any advice on how to tackle this?

To address this issue, you can try using medications such as Viagra (Sildenafil) for improving erections and Priligy (Dapoxetine) for managing premature ejaculation. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, engaging in regular physical exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help improve your sexual function.

I'm noticing some brown coloring on a part of the head of my penis. It doesn't hurt or irritate me, but it's made me anxious recently. I've only been pulling back my foreskin for about a year now, and I'm avoiding touching the head of my penis directly. Should I be concerned about this change in color?

The brown coloration on the area of your penis head could be due to a variety of reasons, including pigmentation changes, fungal infection, or even a benign mole. Since it has been present for a year and is not causing any symptoms, it is less likely to be a concerning issue. However, it is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.
