I've been having some on-and-off pain in my lower abdomen over the past few months, so I went for an abdomen scan. The results showed an anechoic cortical cyst in the upper pole of my right kidney, but no renal calculi or signs of hydronephrosis or hydroureter. Should I be worried about this cyst? I'm not sure what it means for my health, and I'd appreciate any advice you can give.

I've got a 10mm stone in my right kidney. Can Neeri tablets help get rid of it? Or do you have any better tablet or syrup recommendations? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery.

. Most stones that cause renal colic are small and pass out with the urine in a day or so. You should drink plenty of fluids to encourage a good flow of urine. Strong painkillers are often needed to ease the painuntil you pass the stone. No other treatment is usually needed. Some stones that form and stick in the kidney do not cause symptoms or any harm. They can just be left if they are small.

I've been dealing with prostate swelling for the past 7 years and I'm only 33. Been taking Flotral 10 mg daily but really want to find a way to manage this without surgery. Are there other treatment options or lifestyle changes that could help reduce the swelling long-term?

While you're already taking Flotral (alfuzosin), there are other options and lifestyle changes to consider for long-term prostate swelling management without surgery. Focusing on diet, exercise, and specific habits can significantly reduce symptoms and potentially the need for more invasive procedures.
