Question 1

I have left reanal hydronephrosis with a 7mm ureteric calculus in the lower part and a small 3mm concretion in the lower calyx of my left kidney should I consider medicine or is surgery the better option here

Accepted Answer

Given the size of the ureteric calculus (7mm) and the presence of hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the better option for your situation. While a 3mm concretion in the lower calyx may be managed medically, the 7mm stone in the ureter and the associated hydronephrosis suggest a need for more definitive treatment.

Question 2

My dad's PSA level is 8.62 and his prostate weighs 65 grams. The MRI shows BPH but everything else looks normal. Should he consider surgery or can this be managed with medication?

Accepted Answer

A PSA level of 8.62, combined with a 65-gram prostate and a BPH diagnosis from an MRI, suggests that medication may be a good first approach, but surgery could be considered if symptoms are bothersome or if medication is not effective, according to the Cleveland Clinic and the Mayo Clinic. A biopsy is not automatically indicated with these findings, but your doctor will likely discuss this further with you based on the MRI results and your father's symptoms.

Question 3

Sometimes after I masturbate and then pee, I feel really uncomfortable because the urge to pee keeps coming back over and over. It usually lasts about 10 to 15 minutes and makes me go to the bathroom multiple times. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is normal drink plenty of water.

I've been taking Terol LA 4 mg for my overactive bladder but whenever I try to stop it the frequent urination comes back does this mean I'll need to be on medication forever if I don't want surgery
