my penis hasn't grown since childhood and stays around 3 inches when erect is this normal or could there be an underlying issue are there any surgical options to address this
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A penis length of around 3 inches when erect may suggest a condition called micropenis, which can have hormonal or developmental causes. It's important to consult an endocrinologist or urologist for proper evaluation. Surgical options like penile lengthening procedures exist but are considered only after medical assessment and counseling.

I've been feeling a lot of tickling on the top and a little deeper inside my hips lately, and my urine has been yellow for a few days now. What's going on with my body?
Too much tickling on the upper side and top of the penis, along with discomfort deep inside the hips and yellow urine could be indicative of a urinary tract infection. I would recommend taking an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin to treat the infection. Additionally, it would be beneficial to drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection.

I'm dealing with a kidney stone that's 11mm on the left side, and my doctors suggested going for Laser Surgery RIRS. I'm just wondering if lithotripsy is a possible option for my situation instead?
Lithotripsy can be a suitable option for treating kidney stones, including stones of 11mm size. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive procedure that uses shock waves to break down the kidney stones into smaller pieces that can be passed out in the urine. However, the effectiveness of lithotripsy depends on the composition and location of the stone. It is best to consult with your doctor to determine the most appropriate treatment option for your specific case.
