I've noticed these white painless lumps called scrotal calcinosis on my testicles and heard they're harmless but they're multiplying. Is surgery an option to remove them and if I go for it will they come back again

View allMy dad has a 13 mm kidney stone and the doctor recommended keyhole surgery but we really want to avoid an operation. We heard homeopathy might have good treatment options - can homeopathy help dissolve or pass a stone this size without surgery?
A 13mm kidney stone likely requires medical intervention, as they are less likely to pass naturally. The most common treatment options include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). ESWL uses shock waves to break the stone into smaller fragments, while ureteroscopy and PCNL are procedures that physically remove or break up the stone

I'm a bit concerned about my grandma's recent urine report. It says there are 15-20 pus cells per high power field. She doesnt really have any other issues, except she sometimes has incontinence. She's on some Ayurvedic treatment for that. What does it mean to have that number of pus cells? Should we be worried?
The normal range of pus cells in the urine is 0-5. Since the report suggests pus cells of 15-20 and bacteria is present, it is suggestive of urinary tract infection(UTI). Ideally you should send the urine for culture so that the most sensitive antibiotics can be used.

I had grade 3 varicocele surgery 2 weeks ago and I'm 25 years old - will this cause any issues after marriage like fertility problems or discomfort during intercourse?
Varicocele surgery (varicocelectomy) is generally not expected to cause long-term issues related to sexual function or infertility after marriage. While there's a small risk of complications like testicular atrophy or infection, these are less common than the benefits. The surgery primarily aims to improve sperm quality and increase fertility, and many men experience improvements in both. Discomfort or pain during intercourse is not a typical side effect of varicocele surgery
