I've been dealing with orchitis in my right testis for the past 8 months and nothing seems to help. Some doctors say it's orchitis, but my test reports suggest TB orchitis. I've been on TB meds for 7 months with no improvement. One senior doctor recommended surgery but I'm hesitant. The pain is constant any advice on what else I can try?

I'm worried because my penis hasn't been erecting when I wake up for the past couple of days, even though it usually does. Could it be due to the hot weather in Chennai? I'm also feeling mentally stressed. What should I do?
Smoking and Oral Cancer Risk_ 1. _Increased risk_: Smoking is a significant risk factor for oral cancer, regardless of the duration or frequency of smoking. 2. _Throat infection and smoking_: Smoking during a throat infection may increase the risk of oral cancer due to the compromised immune system and inflammation. _Why Smoking During a Throat Infection Might Increase Oral Cancer Risk_ 1. _Weakened immune system_: A throat infection can weaken the immune system, making it more challenging for the body to fight off cancer-causing agents. 2. _Increased inflammation_: Smoking during a throat infection can lead to increased inflammation, which can damage the DNA in oral cells and increase the risk of cancer. 3. _Higher concentration of carcinogens_: When you smoke during a throat infection, the carcinogens in tobacco smoke may become more concentrated in the oral cavity, increasing the risk of oral cancer. _Reduce Your Risk_ 1. _Quit smoking_: The best way to reduce your risk of oral cancer is to quit smoking altogether. 2. _Practice good oral hygiene_: Regularly brush and floss your teeth, and visit your dentist for regular check-ups. 3. _Get regular health check-ups_: Regular health check-ups can help detect any potential health issues early on.

I'm really starting to worry about this sharp pain in my lower left abdomen that spreads towards my groin. The ultrasound showed a 5.9 mm stone in my left mid ureter, around the L5S1 level, and there's some mild hydronephrosis in my left kidney with the upper ureter being dilated. A urologist suggested urgent ureteroscopy, but I decided to try some home remedies instead. After about ten days, I had another ultrasound and it seems like the stone is now in the lower ureter just below where the iliac vessels cross, but there's still mild hydronephrosis and this proximal hydroureter situation going on. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible and would prefer to try medication. Is that a viable option, or should I prepare for the ureteroscopy?
Severe mouth ulcers can be painful and frustrating. Given your current treatment, here are some additional suggestions: *Additional Remedies* 1. *Topical anesthetics*: Apply a topical anesthetic like Orajel or Lidocaine to numb the area and reduce pain. 2. *Antimicrobial mouthwash*: Use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine to reduce bacterial growth and promote healing. 3. *Aloe vera gel*: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to reduce inflammation and promote healing. 4. *Vitamin C supplements*: Take vitamin C supplements to boost your immune system and promote collagen synthesis. *Dietary Changes* 1. *Soft food diet*: Stick to a soft food diet to minimize irritation and discomfort. 2. *Avoid spicy and acidic foods*: Avoid consuming spicy, acidic, or sharp foods that can irritate the ulcer. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist and promote healing. *Medical Consultation* If your mouth ulcer doesn't show signs of improvement within the next 2-3 days, consult your doctor or a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.
