I'm feeling a bit worried after my ultrasound today showed a 3.8 mm stone in my kidney. Can you help me understand what this means and suggest what I should do next? I'm looking for a good urologist. Does this size stone usually pass on its own, or will I need treatment?

I recommend you start taking Tamsulosin (Flomax) to help relax the muscles in the urinary tract and facilitate the passage of the kidney stone. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen 400 mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone.

View allMy penis size is very small and thin only 3.5 inches when erect. I really want to increase it. Does jelqing actually work? Also, does low testosterone affect size? And if there's a hormone imbalance, is it possible to grow my penis without surgery?
There's no scientific evidence that it works, and it might cause side effects like pain, irritation, and bruises. Rarely, jelqing can cause curving of the penis or erectile dysfunction. Talk to a doctor or sex therapist before you try jelqing or any other technique you find online

I'm really confused and concerned about my semen analysis results from a couple of days ago. The report showed a count of 8 million per ml and motility at 45%. This morning, I tried a home test by adding semen to water, and I noticed that about 90% of it sank. Could you explain what it means when semen sinks or floats? I'm really curious and worried.
Thank you for your query. Typically, semen that sinks in water may indicate lower sperm motility or vitality, as healthy sperm are more likely to float. However, it's important to consider that a home test may not provide an accurate representation of sperm health. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider for further analysis and guidance.
