I've been diagnosed with a 9.5mm stone in the upper left ureter and swelling in my left kidney. The pain is severe and daily. My doctor recommended Siddh Pan D, painkillers, and immediate surgery. Is surgery the only option or can I wait? How much time do I have before it gets worse? Are there other treatments I can try?

9.5 mm stone is difficult to pass on itself or with medications. For pain u can take tab drotin twice a day..there r two options for stone removal..either ureteroscopic stone removal or shockwave Lithotripsy..for that CT urography needs to be done to decide treatment modality.. serum creatinine also needs to be done
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Consult a Urologist

View allI'm a 21-year-old male and I've been having recurring UTIs. I had one back in January, where my abdomen scan was normal but the urine culture showed E. coli. My doctor prescribed Nitrofurantoin for 14 days along with Citralka and Meftalspas. Then in May, I got another UTI. Again, my abdomen scan was normal but E. coli showed up in the culture. This time, I was given 14 Amikacin 500 injections for a week plus Citralka. I felt fine for about 15 days, but now I'm experiencing a burning sensation when I pee. I'm really concerned and don't know what to do next. Can you help?
Consult with a urologist for a thorough evaluation. Get a urine culture with antibiotic sensitivity testing. Follow a personalized treatment plan, potentially involving a different antibiotic or longer treatment. Make necessary lifestyle changes and practice preventive measures to avoid further infections.

I had surgery at 18 for a urinary infection that left my penis deformed. Now at 33, my penis is only about an inch when erect even when watching films, and my testicles don't react they're very small and don't seem to function. I feel tense with a fast heartbeat when aroused, and while there's some blood flow, my penis stays small. I'm always inactive and worried about this. Could this be hormonal or related to my past surgery? What could be causing this lack of response?
normal nothing to worry ok.

I'm really worried because the foreskin on my penis feels super tight. It can move down when my penis isn't erect, but once I get an erection, it just won't retract. When I try to push it back, it feels like it's going to tear because it can't stretch any more. I even tried pulling it down when not erect and then getting an erection with the foreskin already down, but it resulted in pain. What if this condition persists until I'm ready to have sex? Can you guide me on what to do?
Circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare provider. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed, and it is often an effective treatment for severe cases of phimosis. It is important to address this issue before engaging in sexual activity to prevent any potential pain or complications. If you have persistent concerns or the condition does not improve with conservative measures, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
