I've got a 7.5mm stone causing wave-like pain in my lower back and abdomen how can I pass it naturally or do I need surgery? Could it damage my kidneys or other organs if it stays too long?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 7.5mm kidney stone causing wave-like pain in your lower back and abdomen is likely to require medical intervention, such as surgery, or procedures like lithotripsy to break it down, as it's less likely to pass naturally. If the stone remains lodged in the ureter, it can cause severe pain, increase the risk of infection or kidney damage, and potentially impact other organs over time.

View allI'm noticing this red spot on the inner upper side of my penis glans. It doesn't hurt or itch, but I've observed it gets darker red after I masturbate or have sex, and otherwise, it just stays light red. Is this something I should be worried about?
Consult to a urologist for physical examination to be done.

I'm having some trouble with my foreskin. It doesn't roll back as much as it's supposed to, and when I try to pull it down more, it starts to hurt. I'm really hoping to find a solution that doesn't involve surgery. Do you have any advice on what I might be able to do to fix this? It's really starting to affect my life, and I'd appreciate any guidance you can offer.
You likely have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract; to resolve this without surgery, your doctor may recommend gentle manual stretching exercises, topical steroid creams like betamethasone to reduce inflammation, or preputioplasty devices that help gradually stretch the foreskin; it's essential to consult a urologist

I'm going through a really tough time with my kidney stones and I have surgery set for March 9. Theyve got me on 800mg of ibuprofen, but I've been down with what they suspect is the flu for over a week now. My blood work showed AST levels at 103 and ALT at 158 on Feb 14, then a week later they were up to AST 135, ALT 182, with Alkaline phosphate at 126. My potassium levels are also low, and to add to it, I don't have a gallbladder, but an ultrasound didnt show anything unusual. I'm also struggling with obesity and trying to get that under control. It feels like it might just be fatty tissue. Any thoughts on all this?
Given your elevated liver enzymes (AST and ALT), low potassium, and upcoming kidney stone surgery, it's essential to consult your doctor about adjusting your ibuprofen dosage, as it may be exacerbating liver strain, and also discuss potential underlying causes, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is common in obese individuals, and ensure your potassium levels are monitored and managed to prevent complications.
