My nephew has a urinary bump below his private area and some doctors said it might be a fistula needing open surgery. Is there any chance it can heal with medicines or other treatments instead of surgery? Really worried and looking for advice.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

View allI've got a 16 mm stone in my left kidney and a 6 mm stone in my right. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Can these be removed without having to go under the knife?
The 6mm stone in your right kidney is likely to pass on its own with hydration and medical expulsive therapy, but the 16mm stone in your left kidney is larger and less likely to pass naturally; for the larger stone, surgeon may recommend shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), ureteroscopy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to break up or remove the stone, depending on its composition, location, and your overall health; consult a urologist or nephrologist

I'm thinking about starting Manforce 200mg because it was recommended to me. I'm a bit worried about any possible side effects that I should be aware of. Also, what's the best time to take this medicine? Should it be taken with food or on an empty stomach?
Manforce 200mg, which contains sildenafil, is commonly used for erectile dysfunction. Potential side effects include headaches, dizziness, and digestive issues. It's best taken on an empty stomach about 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity, as high-fat meals may delay its effectiveness. Always follow your doctor's advice for personalized guidance.

I found out that I have a 4.5mm calculus in my left kidney, and now I'm really worried about what I should eat to keep these stones from forming again. I already drink about 3 liters of water every day, so I'm wondering if there's a specific diet I should follow. What do you recommend?
-Keep drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and prevent stone formation. Adjust your diet by reducing oxalate-rich foods and limiting salt and animal protein. Regular follow-ups with your doctor will ensure you're on the right track.
