My husband has 6mm stones in both kidneys should we be worried? Is this something that needs surgery right away or can it be treated with medicines?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 6mm kidney stone is large enough that it may not pass on its own and could require medical intervention. While some stones of this size may pass naturally, it's important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action. Depending on the stone's location, potential complications, and the individual's overall health, treatment options can range from medication and increased fluid intake to procedures like shock wave lithotripsy or even surgery.

View allI've been having some on-and-off pain in my lower abdomen over the past few months, so I went for an abdomen scan. The results showed an anechoic cortical cyst in the upper pole of my right kidney, but no renal calculi or signs of hydronephrosis or hydroureter. Should I be worried about this cyst? I'm not sure what it means for my health, and I'd appreciate any advice you can give.

I'm dealing with a problem where the foreskin on my penis is really tight, and I can't pull it back at all. I can't see the inside of my penis, and it seems like others my age can do this easily. I've heard that having a tight foreskin can cause pain and maybe even bleeding during sex. I'm not sure what I should do about it, could you help me out with some advice?
To address this issue, you can try using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% cream. Apply a small amount of the cream to the tight part of the foreskin twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. This can help to reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. In severe cases where conservative measures do not work, a circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare professional. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I'm having a penile infection that's been troubling me for the past 20 days. I've tried applying a few creams, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this, and is there something more effective I should try?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
