My ultrasound shows a 6mm stone in the upper ureter near the left kidney with mild hydronephrosis and hydropelvis. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if the stone can pass with just medication instead

View allmy dad has a 7mm calculus in his left mid ureter and the doctor recommended urs surgery can we wait a bit longer to see if it passes naturally or is surgery urgent
A 7mm kidney stone in the left mid ureter is unlikely to pass spontaneously, and surgery (URSL, or ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy) may be recommended. While you can explore waiting a bit to see if the stone passes naturally, especially if pain is manageable, surgery is generally indicated for stones of this size. However, discuss this with your dad's doctor to determine the best course of action, considering his individual situation.

I'm really worried because I'm diabetic with an FBS of 200 and I've noticed that I'm getting sensitive areas under the foreskin, which is prominent after intercourse. I'm uncircumcised and have been using Surbraz TZ cream for about two years to help subside the cuts, but it keeps recurring. My routine urine tests always come back normal, but sometimes my wife ends up with a UTI after we've been intimate. We've tried using Zocon T, and it helps temporarily, but the symptoms keep returning. I've seen a lot of skin and VD specialists, but no one has been able to provide a solution. I understand this might be related to my diabetes, but there's got to be some kind of cure or long-term solution, right? What should I do next?
Consider consulting a urologist or a diabetes specialist for personalized guidance, as your symptoms suggest a possible connection to balanitis, a common condition in uncircumcised diabetic men, characterized by inflammation and irritation under the foreskin; in addition to managing your diabetes, practicing good genital hygiene, and using topical creams like Surfraz TZ, explore other treatment options like circumcision, laser therapy, or antifungal medications, and address your wife's recurrent UTIs through a urologist or gynecologist to prevent further complications.

I've been prone masturbating for the past five years and just realized what it could lead to. I've tried using my hands, but it really didn't work for me. When I tried prone again, it worked. Does it usually take time to get used to using hands? I really don't want to go prone again. Is it normal for someone who's been doing this for five or six years to have trouble adjusting to using their hands?
