my wife has a 6mm kidney stone in the mid pole of her left kidney can it be dissolved naturally or does she need surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 6mm kidney stone in the mid-pole of the left kidney is unlikely to pass naturally and often requires medical intervention. While it's possible to pass a stone of this size on its own, the likelihood is significantly lower compared to smaller stones. Surgery might be recommended if the stone is causing severe pain, infection, or a blockage

I'm having some white discharge from my penis every morning and I'm really worried. There's no pain, but I'm not sure what's going on. Can you suggest any medication to help with this?
The elevated ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) levels indicate inflammation in the body. Joint pains, leg pains, and finger pains suggest an inflammatory condition, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) or Osteoarthritis (OA). Normal sugar test results rule out diabetes as a cause for the symptoms. Consult a Rheumatologist for further evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend additional tests, such as CRP, RF, and ANA, to determine the underlying cause. Treatment will depend on the diagnosis, but may include anti-inflammatory medications, pain management, and lifestyle modifications.
