Paraphimosis is a medical emergency that requires prompt attention; please immediately visit the nearest hospital or urology clinic, as delaying treatment can lead to serious complications, such as permanent damage to the penis, gangrene, or even amputation; a urologist may perform a manual reduction, circumcision, or preputioplasty to treat the condition.

I'm feeling a bit worried after my ultrasound today showed a 3.8 mm stone in my kidney. Can you help me understand what this means and suggest what I should do next? I'm looking for a good urologist. Does this size stone usually pass on its own, or will I need treatment?

I recommend you start taking Tamsulosin (Flomax) to help relax the muscles in the urinary tract and facilitate the passage of the kidney stone. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen 400 mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone.
