Question 1

I've been dealing with kidney stones and got prescribed antibiotics, codeine, and paracetamol. It's been 5 days, and I still haven't had a bowel movement. Is it alright if I take something like senokot to help with this? I'm a bit worried about this situation.

Accepted Answer

Topical Treatments*

1. *Steroid creams*: Apply topical steroid creams (e.g., betamethasone or triamcinolone) to reduce inflammation and promote skin elasticity.
2. *Vitamin E oil*: Massage vitamin E oil into the affected area to promote skin health and elasticity.
3. *Tea tree oil*: Apply diluted tea tree oil (3-5%) to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection.

*Pharmaconutritional Treatments*

1. *Vitamin D supplements*: Ensure adequate vitamin D levels, as deficiencies can contribute to phimosis.
2. *Omega-3 fatty acids*: Consume omega-3 rich foods or supplements to reduce inflammation and promote skin health.

*Additional Recommendations*

1. *Gentle manual stretching*: Continue gentle manual stretching of the foreskin, ideally with a lubricant, to promote elasticity and retractability.
2. *Warm baths*: Regular warm baths can help relax the skin and promote retractability.
3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: Schedule regular follow-ups with a healthcare professional to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.

*Important Notes*

1. *Circumcision may be necessary*: If phimosis persists or worsens, circumcision may be required to prevent complications.
2. *Infection risk*: Monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.

Question 2

I'm having a lot of discomfort on my right side and just found out I have a kidney stone. They gave me some painkillers and did an ultrasound showing it's about 3.9 mm. Is there a good chance this will pass on its own with urine? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Accepted Answer

Urologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been on medication for over 4 months now, but the size hasn't changed it's still 5834 mm. What should I do at this point? Is surgery an option for me?
