I'm really worried about having two stones, one that's 14mm in the kidney and another 20 mm in the urinary bladder, especially since I also have heart issues. Could this cause any complications, and what should I do about it?

For the 14mm stone, medication such as Tamsulosin may be attempted in trying to let the stone pass, but the larger stone will definintely need surgical intervention. In such a condition, it may be best to treat both renal calculi with lithotripsy. Since the patient has a cardiac disease history, it is imperative to get clearance from the consulting cardiologist before proceeding.

I have bilateral varicocele and sometimes feel pain in my scrotum area. I'm really not keen on surgery are there any effective ayurvedic treatments that could help manage this condition?

While Ayurveda can offer supportive strategies for managing pain and potential fertility issues associated with varicocele, it's crucial to understand that Ayurvedic treatments are not a substitute for medical diagnosis and conventional treatment. Varicocele is primarily managed with medical procedures like surgery, and Ayurveda can be used alongside conventional treatment to address symptoms and improve overall well-being
