Question 1

I'm dealing with a 6.7 mm stone lodged in the middle of my right kidney and mid ureter. I've been taking Berberis Vulgaris and Ocimum Canum, 10 drops each in half a cup of water twice daily. I'm really curious, how long might it take for the stone to completely pass? Do you think these remedies will effectively remove the stone?

Coblation adenoidectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to remove enlarged adenoids. Here's how it differs from traditional surgery:

_Traditional Adenoidectomy_

1. _Removal of adenoids_: Adenoids are completely removed using a curette or suction cautery.
2. _More invasive_: Requires more tissue disruption and bleeding.

_Coblation Adenoidectomy_

1. _Partial removal of adenoids_: Only the obstructive portion of the adenoids is removed.
2. _Less invasive_: Uses a coblation wand to dissolve and remove adenoid tissue, reducing bleeding and tissue damage.
3. _Faster recovery_: Typically results in less post-operative pain and faster recovery.

_Benefits of Coblation Technique_

1. _Reduced bleeding_: Coblation technique reduces bleeding and promotes faster healing.
2. _Less post-operative pain_: Coblation adenoidectomy typically results in less pain and discomfort.
3. _Shorter hospital stay_: Patients often require a shorter hospital stay.

_Potential Side Effects of Coblation Technique_

1. _Temporary voice changes_: Some patients may experience temporary voice changes or nasal regurgitation.
2. _Nasal bleeding_: Rarely, patients may experience nasal bleeding or infection.

I'm thinking about getting circumcised mainly for hygiene and how it looks but I'm a bit nervous about the procedure. Can you tell me more about bloodless circumcision and what the cost might be? I've heard mixed things and want to understand what to expect.
