I've had my kidney stent removed about a month ago, but I'm still having some pain in my side abdomen and my back pretty often. Is this normal, or could it indicate another issue? I'm really worried and could use some guidance.

It is not uncommon to experience some pain in the side abdomen and back after a kidney stent removal procedure. However, if the pain is persistent or severe, it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection or kidney stone. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential kidney stones. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

View allI have a grade 1 varicocele on the left side and I'm a bit worried. What are the best remedies for this? Are there any Ayurvedic medicines that can help or is surgery the only option? Also, does doing yoga make any difference in managing this condition?
For a Grade 1 varicocele, surgery is generally not the first line of treatment, but it is the most effective long-term option if symptoms worsen. While surgery is often considered the definitive treatment, there are various other approaches that can help manage the condition, including Ayurvedic medicines and yoga, along with lifestyle modifications.

I've been feeling this weird tingling sensation in my urethra for a while now, but there's no UTI or any other known problem. It's not painful when I pee, and I don't seem to have any prostate issues. It usually comes when I'm trying to sleep, making me really restless, though it does go away on its own after a bit. It's kind of torturous when it's there. Do you think it could be urethral syndrome or maybe something related to nerves? Are there any meds that could help with this?
Urethral irritation usually presents in this way. To help alleviate the tingling sensation, you can try taking Flavoxate (brand name Urispas) 200 mg tablets. This medication helps to relax the muscles in the bladder and urethra, reducing the discomfort you are feeling. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.

I drink plenty of water and watch my diet but still keep getting kidney stones - this is my third surgery to remove them why do they keep forming even when I'm careful what causes these stones to develop repeatedly
Even with good hydration and dietary choices, recurring kidney stones can be due to various factors including underlying medical conditions, genetic predisposition, or certain medications. Your doctor may need to investigate further to determine the specific cause of your recurring stones and tailor a prevention plan.
