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.

View allI've had tight foreskin since I was a kid and thought it would loosen over time if I kept pulling it back, but now I'm 25 and it's still really tight. There's only about a 34mm opening to pee through, and I get this white stuff building up that causes itching. I'm worried surgery might remove the whole foreskin are there other options that can fix this without taking it all off?
Yes, there are non-surgical options to address phimosis (tight foreskin) in addition to circumcision. You can try stretching exercises, using topical steroid creams, and practicing good hygiene to potentially loosen the foreskin and alleviate the symptoms you've described. If those methods are not effective, there are also surgical options that can address the problem without necessarily removing the entire foreskin

Ive been noticing some swelling on the lower left side of my waist whenever I eat or drink water, or even when I try to hold in my urine. It's kind of worrying me because there's no pain involved. Could you shed some light on what this might be and what kind of treatment I should consider?
The swelling on your lower left waist without pain could be due to constipation, water retention, or a possible kidney issue; consult a general surgeon for a proper evaluation, and in the meantime, try increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and managing urine flow to alleviate symptoms.

I'm really concerned about the duration of my sex intercourse. It seems way too shortusually about 25 to 30 seconds at most. I'm curious about what the average time is for other people and would really appreciate some advice on how to improve this situation. Any suggestions or solutions would be super helpful.
