I've been diagnosed with 5mm kidney stones on both sides and I'm really looking to treat this without having to take tablets. Are there any alternative treatments or methods available for this situation?

Most stones that cause renal colic are small and pass out with the urine in a day or so. You should drink plenty of fluids to encourage a good flow of urine. Strong painkillers are often needed to ease the painuntil you pass the stone. No other treatment is usually needed.

I've been feeling a bit off lately like there's this strange discomfort or numbness in my right testicle. It's not really painful or sore, but just unsettling, especially when I press on it; it gets tender. I'm generally healthy at 28, aside from this weird sensation. What could be causing this, and should I be worried? Looking forward to your advice.

You may have hydrocele.examination of testicle is mandatory hence visit surgeon asap
