I'm wondering why my urologist recommended Dytor 10 for my 6.5mm kidney stone. Could you explain how it helps with the stone, and if there's anything specific I should be aware of while taking it?

Its a loop diuretic acting at Na-K-2Cl reabsorptive pump at ascending loop of Henle in your kidneys; interferes with chloride-binding cotransport system, causing increased excretion of water, sodium, chlorine, magnesium, and calcium..once water excretion increased there will be chances of your stones passing with out any surgical intervention

View allI have extra foreskin that completely covers my penis when it's normal. I saw someone with phimosis, but unlike them, I don't have any pain. I can pull the skin back almost 90%, but 10% doesn't stretch easily. I've always used condoms without any issues. Do I need to do anything about this, or is surgery the only option?
yes advised to the pt.

My wife has a 12 mm kidney stone in her left kidney and she's experiencing some pain every day. Is it possible to remove it with medicine, or will surgery be needed?

I've been having some recurring issues after sexual activity, where I notice dryness and tears on my penis. There are also these small red dots on the head of my penis, but they don't seem too noticeable. When I searched online, it suggested it might be related to a yeast or fungal infection. I'm not really sure what to make of it, though. Could you give me some advice or thoughts on what might be going on?
Your symptoms, such as recurring dryness, tears, and small red dots on the penis head, could be indicative of several conditions, including: 1. Yeast or fungal infections: As you've suspected, Candida or other fungal infections can cause these symptoms. 2. Balanitis: An inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by poor hygiene, fungal or bacterial infections, or allergies.To determine the cause and receive proper treatment, consult a healthcare professional, such as a urologist or a dermatologist. They can: 1. Conduct a physical examination. 2. Take a thorough medical history. 3. Perform diagnostic tests (e.g., swabs, blood tests). 4. Provide personalized guidance and treatment.
