I've had a 7mm kidney stone for a month now that hasn't moved at all. It's not painful but causing issues like blood in my urine, burning sensation, and trouble urinating. Should I consider surgery or is there another way to deal with this?

View allMy sperm motility is around 25 and I want to know how to improve it. I've had mild varicocele in my left testicle for almost 4 years with occasional dull pain that comes and goes. The doctor prescribed oligocare and doxy but said if motility doesn't improve, surgery might be needed. Should I consider surgery or are there other ways to increase motility naturally?

While surgery might be a potential solution, it's also worth exploring natural ways to improve sperm motility and overall reproductive health.

I'm a 27-year-old guy from Chennai and I've been feeling like my penile frenulum seems a bit too short. I recently heard about frenuloplasty, but I'm not sure where to start. Could you advise on who would be the right specialist to consult and where I might be able to get this procedure done?
Dengue is not contagious in the classical sense, as it cannot be spread directly from person to person. However, it can be transmitted through: 1. Mosquito bites: The primary vector for dengue is the Aedes mosquito, which feeds on the blood of infected individuals and then transmits the virus to others. 2. Blood transfusions: In rare cases, dengue can be transmitted through blood transfusions from an infected donor. 3. Organ transplantation: Dengue can also be transmitted through organ transplantation from an infected donor. To prevent dengue, take the following precautions: 1. *Eliminate mosquito breeding sites*: Remove standing water from containers, flowerpots, and other areas around your home. 2. *Use mosquito repellents*: Apply insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to exposed skin and clothing. 3. *Wear protective clothing*: Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks when outdoors, especially during peak mosquito hours. 4. *Use mosquito nets*: If you're sleeping outdoors or in an area without screens, use a mosquito net to cover your bed. 5. *Install window and door screens*: Make sure screens are in good condition and free of holes. 6. *Use air conditioning*: Mosquitoes are less active in cooler temperatures, so using air conditioning can help reduce the risk of bites. 7. *Get vaccinated*: If you live in or plan to travel to areas with high dengue transmission, consider getting vaccinated. The Dengvaxia vaccine is available in some countries for individuals aged 9-45. Symptoms of dengue typically appear within 3-14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. The symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include: 1. *Fever*: High temperature, usually above 104F (40C). 2. *Severe headache*: Pain is often described as piercing or burning. 3. *Pain behind the eyes*: Eye pain is common, especially when moving the eyes. 4. *Joint and muscle pain*: Pain and stiffness in the joints, muscles, and bones. 5. *Rash*: A red, patchy rash may appear on the skin, usually 2-5 days after the onset of fever. 6. *Nausea and vomiting*: Some people may experience stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting. 7. *Fatigue*: Feeling extremely tired and weak. In severe cases, dengue can lead to: 1. *Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)*: A rare but life-threatening complication characterized by severe bleeding, low platelet count, and blood plasma leakage. 2. *Dengue shock syndrome (DSS)*: A severe complication of DHF, characterized by a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to shock and potentially life-threatening complications.
