I've just found out I have a 1.5 cm right renal simple upper polar cortical cyst. There's no hydronephrosis or calculus, but there's minimal free fluid in the pelvis. I'm really worried about what kind of treatment I might need and how quickly this can be resolved. Can you help me understand what steps I should take next?

Treatment for a simple kidney cyst depends on whether it's causing symptoms or blocking urine or blood flow: No symptoms: A doctor may monitor the cyst periodically. Symptoms: A health care provider may recommend treatment, such as: Sclerotherapy: A long needle is used to puncture the cyst under ultrasound guidance, then the cyst is drained and filled with a solution to harden it. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. Laparoscopy: A surgeon uses a laparoscope, a tube with a small video camera, to locate the cyst. The cyst is drained, then removed or burned. This procedure is performed in a hospital with general anesthesia and may require a one or two day stay.

I'm wondering why my urologist recommended Dytor 10 for my 6.5mm kidney stone. Could you explain how it helps with the stone, and if there's anything specific I should be aware of while taking it?

I'm experiencing something odd and would love some guidance. Whenever I masturbate, everything works just fineI get a perfect erection and can control when I ejaculate. But it's a different story when I'm with my partner. I struggle to get a strong enough erection, and I find myself ejaculating much faster than I'd like. It's kind of frustrating, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Would really appreciate any advice or insights!
