I've been experiencing some tender pain at the top of my left testicle, and sometimes it even seems like the shape of it isn't quite round. Walking or touching that area makes the pain worse. I'm not sure if I should see a gynecologist or if a general physician would be the right person to talk to. What do you think I should do?

You should consult a urologist, not a gynecologist, as they specialize in male reproductive health; a general physician can provide an initial evaluation, but a urologist is better equipped to diagnose and treat potential issues like epididymitis, orchitis, testicular torsion, or varicocele; schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and undergo a physical examination to determine the cause of the pain and abnormal testicular shape.

View allI'm dealing with a stubborn 6 mm kidney stone at the UV junction that's causing mild hydronephrosis in my right kidney. The doctor put me on urimax 0.4 mg for 10 days. It's been 15 days now, and the back pain is still around, sometimes even getting unbearable. We're trying to flush it out by drinking lots of water, but it seems like nothing's changed. What should we do next?
The medication prescribed by your doctor, capsule Urimax 0.4 mg, is commonly used to help pass kidney stones by relaxing the muscles in the urinary tract. However, since the pain is still persistent and sometimes unbearable, it may be necessary to consider a different approach. In this case, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a medication like Tamsulosin (Flomax) to help with the passage of the kidney stone. Additionally, if the pain continues to be severe, your doctor may consider other interventions such as lithotripsy or surgery to remove the stone. It's important to keep hydrating well and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
