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.

View allI'm a bit worried about some results I got from an ultrasound. It mentioned something called hydronephrosis on the right side, but it says the corticomedullary differentiation is okay on both sides. It also notes that the cortical parenchymal thickness is normal. There's a small calculus, like 9 mm, in the lower part of my left kidney. I'm not really sure what all this means. Should I be concerned about the hydronephrosis or the stone? Could this lead to something serious?
That Hydronephrosis could be due to Renal calculus and 9mm stone is significant and needs surgery,visit Urologist for appropriate management and also consume more water

I'm concerned because my penis curves downwards like a banana when it's erect. There's no pain, and I don't have any issues except for the curvature. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be affecting me in some way I don't realize?
A curved penis, especially when erect, is typically not a cause for concern if it doesnt cause pain, discomfort, or interfere with sexual function. This is often a natural variation in penis shape, which can occur due to factors like genetics or Peyronies disease, though the latter is usually associated with pain or difficulty during sex. Since you mention there's no pain or other issues, it's likely just a harmless curvature.

I'm 26 and just got married. A few months ago, I went to the urologist because I was having pain in my testicles, and they said I have a bilateral grade 2 varicocele. They suggested taking ibuprofen whenever it hurts but also mentioned it could affect fertility. The doctor said if my wife and I don't conceive within a year, I might need to consider surgery. Lately, I've been feeling some pain after intercourse and during bowel movements, and even when I touch my testicles, it hurts a lot. Plus, I've been having digestive problems, waking up with gas and loose stools in the morning. I'm wondering if any alternative medicine might help with all this. Do you have any advice or suggestions?
it's better to get operated for varicocele, follow your doctor advice do not neglect.and maintain healthy lifestyle.
