My wife has a 14mm kidney stone should we consider surgery or can medicine dissolve it? What's the best way to handle this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a 14mm kidney stone, surgical intervention is typically recommended as the first-line treatment. While medications can help manage pain and aid in passing smaller stones, they cannot dissolve 14mm stones. Surgery, along with other options like lithotripsy, are more effective for larger stones.

I'm doing daily masturbation and I'm wondering if it could affect anything health-wise. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Would appreciate some guidance.
Masturbation is a normal and healthy sexual activity. It does not cause any physical harm or have any long-term side effects. However, excessive masturbation can lead to temporary genital irritation. It is important to maintain a balance and listen to your body's needs. If you experience any discomfort, you can use over-the-counter creams like Calamine lotion to soothe the irritation.
