I've been dealing with really bad back pain and, after checking with the doctor, they found that I have a 6mm stone in my kidney pipe. Now they are suggesting a small surgery to blast the stone. Do you think that's necessary, or is there a way to manage it with just medicine? I'm a bit worried about having surgery. What would be the best approach?

If the 6mm stone is causing severe pain and blocking urine flow, surgery (like lithotripsy) might be the best option for quick relief. However, some stones can pass with medications, plenty of fluids, and pain management, so discuss all possibilities with your doctor.

View allI recently went to a urologist who told me my testicles are undescended and still in my lower abdomen based on an ultrasound scan. I'm 26 and worried it might be too late to fix this. Can you recommend a good doctor or hospital in Bangalore for this? Also, any idea what the surgery might cost roughly?
Surgery is the best option, we cant do anything much with medication, so go for surgery.

I've been having this issue where my urine culture shows Klebsiella Pneumoniae. I've done this test a couple of times over the past few months and it keeps popping up. I've tried antibiotics, but they haven't really helped. What medication should I consider to get better? I'm worried and just want to feel healthy again.
The persistent presence of Klebsiella Pneumoniae in your urine culture, despite previous antibiotic treatments, suggests a possible antibiotic-resistant strain or an underlying condition like a urinary tract obstruction, kidney stones, or a neurogenic bladder; consult your urologist or nephrologist to discuss further treatment options, which may include a urine sensitivity test to determine the effective antibiotic, alternative antibiotics like Amikacin, Gentamicin, or Fosfomycin, or procedures to address underlying conditions, and in the meantime, drink plenty of water, urinate when needed, and practice good hygiene.

I've been having this dull burning feeling at the top of my penis after I pee and I'm sure it's not an STD since I've never been married or had sex. There's also a slight burning in the hairy area above my penis on the outside. Do you have any idea what this could be or how I can get rid of it? I've been taking homeopathic medicine for internal hemorrhoidscould that be causing the problem?
The dull burning sensation youre experiencing could be due to mild irritation or an inflammation in the area, possibly from sweating or friction. Its good that you're being cautious, but homeopathy for hemorrhoids shouldnt affect this. Try to keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight clothing, and use a soothing cream like aloe vera. If it persists or worsens, a doctors consultation would be helpful.
