I'm really worried about a mild dilatation in the left pelvicalyceal system and a dilated proximal ureter because of a mid-ureteric calculus that's about 3.6 mm. How serious is this? Should I be concerned about potential complications, or does it usually resolve on its own? What steps should I take next in terms of treatment or management?

., Most kidney stones are small and pass out with the urine. Some stones become stuck in a kidney or in the tube draining urine from the kidney (the ureter). .... Most kidney stones will be small enough no more than 4mm..to be passed out in your urine. It may be possible to treat these at home.
However, small kidney stones may still cause pain. The pain from smaller kidney stones usually lasts a couple of days and disappears when the stone has been passed..

View allI'm curious about whether having sex every day might have any impact on my health. Can this be harmful, or is it generally considered normal? I'm just trying to understand if daily sex could lead to any problems.

I've just found out I have a 1.5 cm right renal simple upper polar cortical cyst. There's no hydronephrosis or calculus, but there's minimal free fluid in the pelvis. I'm really worried about what kind of treatment I might need and how quickly this can be resolved. Can you help me understand what steps I should take next?
Treatment for a simple kidney cyst depends on whether it's causing symptoms or blocking urine or blood flow: No symptoms: A doctor may monitor the cyst periodically. Symptoms: A health care provider may recommend treatment, such as: Sclerotherapy: A long needle is used to puncture the cyst under ultrasound guidance, then the cyst is drained and filled with a solution to harden it. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. Laparoscopy: A surgeon uses a laparoscope, a tube with a small video camera, to locate the cyst. The cyst is drained, then removed or burned. This procedure is performed in a hospital with general anesthesia and may require a one or two day stay.
