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'm having a problem with the skin on my penis not retracting during sex with my partner. It seems like it's not opening properly. I've been using oil whenever we have sex, but I'm not sure if that's okay. Is there something I should be doing differently, or should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing tightness of the foreskin, a condition known as **phimosis**, which can make it difficult for the skin to retract during sex. Applying a lubricant, such as oil, can help reduce friction, but its important to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and explore treatment options, such as gentle stretching exercises or, in some cases, medical intervention.

I've just had a semen analysis because my wife and I are trying to have a baby. A few months ago, she conceived unexpectedly, but sadly the pregnancy didn't go well since the fetus wasn't growing properly. This time we're trying to be more careful and consulted with a gynecologist who suggested we get tested before planning again. I'm sharing my report for your input. It turned out positive, but it also shows positive agglutination. What does this mean for our chances of getting pregnant? Could you advise on how to lower or manage this agglutination issue?
Agglutination in the semen analysis indicates that sperm may be clumping together, which can potentially affect fertility by reducing sperm motility and their ability to reach the egg. Its important to discuss this with your doctor, who may recommend treatments like antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or lifestyle changes to improve sperm quality and reduce agglutination.
