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

I'm wondering if having 34 pus cells per high-power field in my urine is something to be concerned about. Everything else on my report seems normal, but do I need treatment for this? Would love your insight.

The presence of 3-4 PUS (pus) cells per high power field (HPF) in urine is generally considered mild and can occur due to factors like urinary tract irritation or a minor infection. Since the rest of your report is normal, it may not require treatment, but it's always a good idea to monitor for any symptoms like pain or discomfort, and follow up with your doctor if needed.

I've just had a semen analysis done, and I'm really worried because the morphology came back at 1. My count is 30 million, and motility is 4. What can I do to improve these numbers? Should I be taking any specific medicine, and is the lineator tablet enough for this situation?
