I'm really concerned about my UTI and I really don't want to go on antibiotics if I can help it. Are there any other effective ways to treat this? Also, how can I tell if the infection has spread to my kidneys? I'm not sure what symptoms to look for and it's making me anxious.

Question

I'm dealing with a kidney stone that's about 98 MM for the past two months, and I'm not experiencing severe pain. Is it really possible for the stone to pass without treatment? Everyone says it might come back even after treatment. Are there specific foods I should avoid to help with this, like someone suggested steering clear of tomatoes? I've been drinking more water and tender coconut water daily for the last two months, and thankfully, I'm only feeling a bit of pain now. I also try to walk and do some small exercises in the morning. The doctor mentioned the stone is nearly 1 cm, so I'm wondering if it can pass without treatment. Could you give me some advice on all these concerns?

Question

I've just had a semen analysis because my wife and I are trying to have a baby. A few months ago, she conceived unexpectedly, but sadly the pregnancy didn't go well since the fetus wasn't growing properly. This time we're trying to be more careful and consulted with a gynecologist who suggested we get tested before planning again. I'm sharing my report for your input. It turned out positive, but it also shows positive agglutination. What does this mean for our chances of getting pregnant? Could you advise on how to lower or manage this agglutination issue?

How long does a circumcision surgery usually take and what's the recovery time like? I'm trying to plan when to get it done and want to know how much rest I'll need afterward. Also, how long does the actual procedure last?
