Question 1

I have a 5mm calculus in my right upper ureter about 5cm below the pelviureteric junction. Is there any chance it can pass on its own without surgery? Are there any medicines that could help with this?

Accepted Answer

A 5mm kidney stone in the ureter has a decent chance of passing on its own, but there's no guarantee. While some stones can pass naturally, others may get stuck and cause complications. There are also medicines that can aid in passing stones, but their effectiveness can vary

Question 2

I've been feeling a burning sensation when I pee, and it's there even when I'm not using the bathroom. I keep feeling like I need to go all the time. This has been going on for the past couple of days. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

You may have a urinary tract infection (UTI). I recommend taking antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Nitrofurantoin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine to help relieve the burning sensation during urination. Remember to drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection.

Question 3

I've been diagnosed with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis and urinary bladder wall thickening of 7mm. Are there any medications that can help treat these conditions or is surgery an option for prostatitis? Would surgery provide a permanent solution for these issues?

Accepted Answer

For chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, medication is the primary treatment option, although surgery might be considered in specific cases. Bladder wall thickening, however, is a different issue and requires separate evaluation and treatment. There is no guarantee of a permanent cure, but with appropriate management, symptoms can be effectively controlled.

Why should we not drink water after urination?

We can drink water after urinating.
