is vasectomy surgery safe and are there any side effects i should worry about in the future
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Vasectomy is a safe and effective surgery for male birth control. While serious complications are rare, some individuals may experience side effects like pain, swelling, or infection in the days or weeks following the procedure. Long-term risks are also relatively low, but can include post-vasectomy pain syndrome or, in rare cases, a sperm granuloma.

I'm a bit worried about some test results I got. It says I have two non-obstructing calculus in my right kidney, one measuring 3.5mm and another 4.0mm, located in the interpole and lower pole calyx. The left kidney also has two non-obstructing calculus, measuring 3.6mm and 4.4mm in the same areas. Should I be concerned about these? Are there any symptoms I should watch out for or lifestyle changes I need to make?
You have multiple small kidney stones (calculus) in both kidneys, but they are not currently obstructing the flow of urine. Here's a summary: _Right Kidney:_ - 2 small stones (3.5mm and 4.0mm) in the interpolar and lower pole calyx _Left Kidney:_ - 2 small stones (3.6mm and 4.4mm) in the interpolar and lower pole calyx _Recommendations:_ 1. _Drink plenty of water_: Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water per day to help flush out the stones. 2. _Dietary changes_: Consider reducing your intake of animal proteins, sodium, and oxalate-rich foods (e.g., spinach, beets, rhubarb). 3. _Monitoring_: Schedule regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor the stones' size and position. 4. _Pain management_: If you experience any pain or discomfort, consult your doctor for guidance on pain management. _When to Seek Medical Attention:_ 1. _Severe pain_: If you experience severe pain or discomfort. 2. _Blood in urine_: If you notice blood in your urine. 3. _Fever_: If you have a fever over 101.5F (38.6C). 4. _Vomiting_: If you experience persistent vomiting.
