My dad is 65 and has multiple kidney stones around 25mm in size. He doesn't have BP or diabetes. Can these stones be treated with medicine or does he need surgery? What's the best option for someone his age?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For 25mm kidney stones, surgical intervention is generally recommended due to their size and likelihood of causing blockage or complications. Medications can be used to manage symptoms and prevent future stones, but they are unlikely to dissolve or pass stones of this size

I've got a small cut on my frenulum; its not bleeding, but its a bit painful. I'm just wondering, is it okay to apply Neosporin on it?
For a small, non-bleeding cut on the frenulum, apply gentle care: clean with mild soap and lukewarm water, pat dry, and apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to promote healing and prevent infection; however, if pain increases, or you notice signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus), consult a healthcare professional or urologist for further guidance.
