A 6mm kidney stone at the UV junction may be managed with medication or surgery, depending on the specific situation and your individual circumstances. Medication, such as Tamsulosin, can help relax the ureter and facilitate stone passage. If the stone is causing significant pain or obstruction, or if medical management fails, surgical options like lithotripsy or ureteroscopy may be considered

Question

I'm kind of worried because for over six months now, the cover of my penis just won't open properly. I try to open it and the skin ends up with these painful cuts. This whole thing actually started about a year ago. The skin at the tip has also gotten really dry and rough. I'm 34 and unsure about what to do next. Could you give some advice on this?

Question

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.
