My dad's ultrasound found 3 kidney stones around 10mm in his left kidney and a 9mm gallstone. His feet stay swollen all the time but no pain yet. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if stones this big can be treated without surgery and how long the removal process usually takes

Hey, I've been hitting the gym and my trainer suggested I start using whey protein. But I'm kinda worried if it could mess with my libido or even cause erectile dysfunction. Is it really safe to go ahead with whey protein?
Whey protein is generally safe for most people and does not directly cause loss of libido or erectile dysfunction. However, excessive protein intake can sometimes affect hormone levels or kidney function in some individuals. It's best to use it in moderation, and if you have any concerns, consulting with a healthcare provider is always a good idea.

I have bilateral varicocele with grade 12.6mm on one side and 2.3mm on the other and I really don't want to go through surgery Has anyone successfully treated varicocele with homeopathic medicines Would love to see some ultrasound reports from patients who've had positive results
How Are Varicoceles Treated? Most varicoceles need no special treatment. A varicocele is usually harmless and more than likely won't affect a guy's ability to father a child later in life. But if there is any pain and swelling, the doctor may prescribe an anti-inflammatory medicine to relieve it.
