The USG scan showed a 5.2 mm kidney stone in my left kidney with slight hydroureteronephrosis and I've been having terrible pain. The doctor prescribed antibiotics but I'm worried can this stone pass on its own with just medication or will I need surgery?

A 5.2 mm kidney stone with hydroureteronephrosis may pass spontaneously but due to pain and obstruction signs, medical and sometimes surgical help is needed.

I'm a bit worried about the mild varicocele diagnosis I got for my left testicle. The doctors mentioned they can't do much. I used to enjoy working out at the gym, but now, any kind of exercise seems to bring back the pain in my abdomen and testicle. I'm curious if going to the gym could have caused this varicocele? I generally stayed away from heavy lifting and mostly focused on weight-bearing and abs workouts. Is there anything I can do to manage this or any advice on what exercises are safe?
Varicocele is usually caused by the enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, often referred to as the "pampiniform plexus." While heavy lifting exercises can potentially exacerbate varicocele, any form of physical activity that increases intra-abdominal pressure, such as weight-bearing and abs workouts, can also contribute to the development or worsening of varicocele. It is advisable to avoid activities that strain the abdominal muscles and increase pressure in the scrotum. To alleviate symptoms and reduce discomfort, you can consider wearing a scrotal support or compression underwear during physical activities. Additionally, you may benefit from taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen to manage any discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
