Kidney Stone Treatment: Hospital vs. Homeopathic Approach _Current situation:_ 1. _Diagnosed with a 5.7mm kidney stone_: Now reduced to 3mm. 2. _Severe pain_: Initially required hospital admission. _Considerations for leaving the hospital:_ 1. _Incomplete treatment_: You may be discharged too early, potentially leading to: - Stone growth or fragmentation - Recurring pain - Increased risk of complications (e.g., infection, blockage) 2. _Lack of medical supervision_: Homeopathic treatment may not provide adequate monitoring or address potential complications. 3. _Uncertain efficacy of homeopathic remedies_: While some homeopathic remedies, like Patharchatta (Bryophyllum pinnatum), may be suggested for kidney stones, their effectiveness is not extensively scientifically proven. _Recommended course of action:_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your desire to explore homeopathic treatment options and seek their advice. 2. _Complete conventional treatment_: Ensure you finish the recommended treatment course in the hospital to minimize the risk of complications. 3. _Post-discharge follow-up_: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed. _Patharchatta (Bryophyllum pinnatum):_ 1. _Traditional remedy_: This plant is sometimes used in traditional medicine to help manage kidney stones. 2. _Limited scientific evidence_: While some studies suggest potential benefits, more research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.

I'm a bit confused about the timing of precum and sperm during ejaculation. Does precum always come out before sperm, or can sperm be released before precum too? Also, is it possible for precum to be released after sperm? I'm trying to understand how...

Precum, also known as pre-ejaculate, is a clear, colorless fluid that is released from the male urethra during sexual arousal. It is produced by the Cowper's glands and serves to lubricate the urethra and neutralize any acidity from previous urine. Precum can be released before ejaculation, during sexual activity, or even without sexual stimulation. Sperm, on the other hand, is the reproductive fluid that contains sperm cells and is released during ejaculation. Sperm is produced in the testes and stored in the epididymis until ejaculation occurs. In the normal sequence of events during sexual activity, precum is usually the first fluid to be released, followed by the release of sperm during ejaculation. However, it is possible for sperm to be released first, especially if there is residual sperm in the urethra from a previous ejaculation, and precum to be released afterwards. It is important to note that precum itself can contain sperm, although the concentration is generally lower compared to ejaculated sperm. Therefore, it is still possible to conceive from precum if it contains sperm. If you have concerns about fertility or sexual health, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.
