My 4-year-old son was diagnosed with glandular hypospadias, chordee, and a tight urethral opening doctors recommended surgery but I'm worried about risks and recovery. What should I expect with his condition and the procedure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hypospadias surgery, while generally successful, carries potential risks and a recovery period that can be a bit challenging. Your son's condition, including glandular hypospadias, chordee, and a tight urethral opening, will be addressed with surgery, which may involve moving the urethral opening to its proper location and releasing the chordee, a downward curve of the penis. The recovery period typically includes pain management, potential catheter use, and follow-up appointments. While the procedure is generally safe and the surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis, complications like scarring, infection, or urethral narrowing can occur, though they are generally rare

View allI'm 19 and I've recently stopped watching porn and masturbating. However, since then, I've been experiencing nightfall almost every day. Is there a way to address this issue or something I'm missing? I'm really looking for some advice here.
It's normal to experience nightfall (nocturnal emissions) during adolescence, especially after changes in sexual habits. It usually resolves on its own over time. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular sleep, stress management, and avoiding overstimulation can help reduce frequency. If it continues or concerns you, a visit to a doctor might provide further reassurance.

I just got my ultrasound report showing a tiny kidney stone in the right middle calyx and a 6mm UVJ stone on the left side with mild hydroureteronephrosis - how serious is this? Can these stones pass naturally or will I need surgery?
Less than 10 % stones of size more than 6mm pass spontaneously... Try drinking more water.... Consult a Nephrologist.. You will medications to aid in passing the stone..

I'm kind of worried because after taking Alfoo, Levotas, and Chymoral AP for some urinary issues last night, I started feeling really dizzy with a racing heart and blocked nose. Are these side effects something to be really concerned about, and should I stop taking them?
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as dizziness, weakness, rapid heartbeat, and nasal congestion, after taking Alfoo, Levotas, and Chymoral AP, are likely adverse reactions to one or more of these medications; Alfoo (Alfuzosin) can cause dizziness and rapid heartbeat, while Levotas (Valsartan) may lead to dizziness and nasal congestion; Chymoral AP may also contribute to these symptoms; discontinue these medications immediately
