I'm really worried about my dad. He had an abdomen scan and the results mentioned grade 1 prostatomegaly. What does that actually mean? Should we be concerned or is it something common? Could you help me understand this a bit more?

Grade 1 prostatomegaly indicates a mildly enlarged prostate (1-30% enlargement). It's generally not serious, but requires monitoring to prevent progression to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. Consult a urologist for guidance.

I'm having a lot of discomfort on my right side and just found out I have a kidney stone. They gave me some painkillers and did an ultrasound showing it's about 3.9 mm. Is there a good chance this will pass on its own with urine? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
Urologist opinion is advised to the patient.
