Persistent Cough with Blood-Streaked Sputum and Dizziness

Concerns and Recommendations

Incomplete treatment: Azithral (azithromycin) for 5 days might not have fully cleared the infection.

Blood-streaked sputum: This symptom warrants further investigation to rule out underlying conditions, such as:

Pneumonia

Bronchitis

Pulmonary embolism (less likely, but possible)

Tuberculosis (TB)

Dizziness: This could be related to the underlying infection, smoking, or other factors.

Smoking: Your frequent smoking habit may be exacerbating the condition.

It is impossible to pass a 12 mm kidney stone as it is too big to move through the urinary tract. Also, such a big kidney stone is highly unlikely to dissolve through oral medication and thus requires surgery for safe removal.

I've had varicocele in my left testicle for the past 7 years and it's been causing me pain. I'm unmarried and wondering if this can be treated with medication or if I'll need surgery. What are my options?

A varicocelectomy is a surgical procedure that treats severe varicoceles that are painful or affect your fertility. A surgeon who specializes in conditions that affect your urinary system and reproductive system will cut your affected veins and seal off the ends.
