My wife has a 12 mm stone in her left kidney and feels mild pain daily. Can this be treated with medicine or does she need surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Kidney stones may not always cause pain and discomfort and may remain asymptomatic unless they grow too big or get stuck in the ureter or urethra. A 12 mm kidney stone is large and can cause much pain and difficulties and requires surgery for removal.

I've had a slow urine flow since childhood and was recently diagnosed with a high bladder neck or bladder outlet obstruction. The doctor said surgery isn't suitable for me right now. Are there any permanent treatment options in ayurveda or homeopathy that could help without needing surgery?
A bladder neck obstruction may occur at birth due to connective tissue or muscle issues. This can cause a severe obstruction of the upper urinary tract and can lead to kidney malfunction, which can sometimes be fatal Homeopathy may offer some relief for the symptoms of bladder outlet syndrome (BOO), but it is not a cure for the underlying condition. While homeopathy can be helpful in managing symptoms like frequent urination and discomfort associated with bladder infections (cystitis), it cannot address the physical blockage or structural issues causing BOO

I'm really worried about my dad. He had an abdomen scan and the results mentioned grade 1 prostatomegaly. What does that actually mean? Should we be concerned or is it something common? Could you help me understand this a bit more?
Grade 1 prostatomegaly indicates a mildly enlarged prostate (1-30% enlargement). It's generally not serious, but requires monitoring to prevent progression to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. Consult a urologist for guidance.
