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.

I've been diagnosed with phimosis and need surgery soon which option is safer and better, laser or ZSR? I'm really worried and want to make the right choice quickly.
Laser circumcision is actually the permanent solution for phimosis. So, if your doctor recommends you undergoing laser circumcision or stapler circumcision, be assured that it is the safest procedure and inflicts minimal pain
