I've had a 5mm kidney stone on the left side for the past 3 months and medicines haven't worked. What surgery or treatment can help remove it quickly?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a 5mm kidney stone that hasn't passed with conservative measures, several surgical and minimally invasive procedures can be used for quick removal. These include shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. While a 5mm stone can sometimes pass on its own, prolonged discomfort or complications may warrant intervention.

Also, whenever I watch any sexy videos or chat with my girlfriend, some sperm drops come out suddenly, and my testicles hurt. I also feel weak a lot of the time. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I've got varicose veins in my left testicle but no major pain just occasional mild discomfort in the veins and sometimes a sharp stomach pain that feels like it's coming from a single vein. Could this cause any serious issues later? Is treatment necessary, and if so, are there any good options besides surgery?

I'm uncircumcised and struggling to retract my foreskin. Is there a way to do this naturally at home without surgery? Can homeopathy help with this issue?
Yes, it's possible to gently and naturally try to retract your foreskin at home, especially if you're experiencing phimosis (a condition where the foreskin can't be retracted). Homeopathy might be a part of a complementary approach, but it's important to understand the limitations and seek guidance from a healthcare professional.
