Question 1

I'm experiencing cracks on my foreskin after having sex, and sometimes they last for a few days before coming back after intercourse. I've noticed a whitish-grey discharge building up on my foreskin and the head of my penis. It goes away after washing, but then it returns the next day. The skin around the head seems like it might have an infection. I've tried using coconut oil and curd since I read online that it might be a fungal or yeast infection. Also, my wife had a UTI with white discharge recently. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and suggest a possible treatment?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms suggest a possible yeast infection (candidiasis) or balanitis, often linked to infections like UTI in partners. Avoid home remedies like coconut oil, as they may worsen irritation. Wash gently with warm water, avoid soaps, and consider an antifungal cream after consulting a Dr. Both you and your wife may benefit from a medical check-up to address potential infection and prevent recurrence.

Question 2

I had kidney stone removal surgery 3 weeks ago and the stent was taken out 5 days back. For the past two days my ear has been hurting and the left side of my face feels dull and numb. Could this be from the antibiotics? If I stop taking them will it go back to normal or do I need some other treatment?

Accepted Answer

It's possible your symptoms are related to the post-surgical recovery process, particularly stent removal, and could be due to the medication. However, it's crucial to seek advice from your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. While discontinuing the antibiotics could potentially alleviate some symptoms, it may not resolve the issue if it's a separate complication.

Question 3

I have a 6mm stone in my left upper ureter with mild hydronephrosis do I need surgery right away or is there a chance it could pass on its own with urine? What would you recommend?

Accepted Answer

A 6mm kidney stone in the ureter with mild hydronephrosis can sometimes pass on its own, but it's also possible it will require intervention. While some 6mm stones pass, a 6mm stone might be more likely to get stuck, causing pain and potentially requiring medical assistance. Hydronephrosis, the swelling of the kidney due to fluid buildup, can also be a reason to seek treatment
