My penis curves to the left and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm nervous about the risks are there any non-surgical options to fix this
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, there are non-surgical options to address penile curvature, often due to Peyronie's disease. These include collagenase injections, penile traction therapy, and other medications.

View allI have a 15mm stone in my right kidney but no abdominal pain. Can it be treated without surgery or is surgery the only option?
A 15 mm kidney stone may need lithotripsy or surgery if not passing—monitor and decide based on symptoms.

I noticed something strange today while I was using the bathroom. There was a red thread-like thing in my urine, and I've never seen anything like it before. I don't have any pain, itching, or other problems, but it's got me a bit concerned. Any idea what this could be?
The red thread-like shape in your urine could be a blood clot, a urinary cast, or a thread-like piece of tissue; given the absence of pain, itching, or other symptoms, it's likely a harmless anomaly, but to rule out any underlying conditions, such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, or bladder issues, consult a urologist

Had URS surgery in November 2015 for stones but now after 3 months there's mild pain again. What could be causing this and are there any precautions to prevent recurrence? How quickly can stones come back after surgery?
Mild pain after URS surgery, even 3 months later, could be due to various reasons, including a new stone, residual tissue irritation, or incomplete stone removal. To prevent recurrence, focus on hydration, dietary changes like reducing sodium and oxalate intake, and addressing any underlying medical conditions. While individual recurrence times vary, some studies suggest a median time to recurrence of 12 months after initial URS and SWL procedures, with a higher rate of repeat procedures after SWL compared to URS.
