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 allI'm noticing that my foreskin and glans have become red, and sometimes there's a bit of irritation on the foreskin, with a burning-like feeling. Right now, I'm using coconut oil during the day and Nizral cream at night. I'm wondering if I should consider getting circumcised to solve this issue, or if there's something else I could try first. Any advice?

Can doing masturbation every day lead to weak erections? Ive heard that excessive masturbation might have some side effects. Should I be worried if I'm experiencing this?
Excessive masturbation can lead to temporary weak erections, decreased libido, or desensitization, but it does not typically cause permanent damage; daily masturbation can lead to fatigue, decreased sensitivity, and potential negative impacts on relationships and daily life; other potential side effects of excessive masturbation include guilt, shame, anxiety, decreased focus, and neglect of responsibilities.

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.
