My left kidney has a blockage near the ureter, and doctors think it might be endometriosis, but they can't pinpoint the exact cause. We're still trying to figure out the final diagnosis before surgery. Is surgery the only option for this kind of blockage? I'd really appreciate some clarity on what else could be done.

While surgery is often the primary treatment for ureteral endometriosis, it's not always the first or only option. Before surgery, doctors may consider other approaches, such as ureteral stents, to help manage the blockage and protect the kidney.

View allMy wife has a 14mm kidney stone should we consider surgery or can medicine dissolve it? What's the best way to handle this?
For a 14mm kidney stone, surgical intervention is typically recommended as the first-line treatment. While medications can help manage pain and aid in passing smaller stones, they cannot dissolve 14mm stones. Surgery, along with other options like lithotripsy, are more effective for larger stones.

I've been diagnosed with a hypotonic neurogenic bladder and have been dealing with slow urine flow, sometimes medium. Allopathy and surgery don't seem to offer a permanent cure. Are there any permanent treatment options in Ayurveda or homeopathy? I've been struggling with this for 1.5 years and visited multiple hospitals without much success. What would you suggest?
While both Ayurveda and homeopathy offer alternative approaches, neither is considered a "permanent cure" for hypotonic neurogenic bladder. They focus on symptom management and improving overall well-being. A comprehensive approach, including medication, physical therapy, and potentially surgical interventions, may be necessary for a permanent solution
