The incubation period (time of exposure to time symptoms begin) varies with the microbe. In general, common urinary tract infections with colonizing bacteria, like E. coli, varies from about three to eight days.

I have a 4mm stone in my left ureter and I'm worried if it can pass on its own or if I'll need surgery. Right now I'm taking Drotin M for the pain but I'm not sure what to expect next. Can you help me understand my options?

A 4mm stone in the ureter can sometimes pass on its own, but if it doesn’t, surgery may be needed. Drotin M can help with pain management, but follow up with your doctor for further treatment options.

I'm curious about something that's been on my mind. I've been masturbating daily for a while now, and I noticed that my sperm used to be thicker a few months ago, but now it seems more watery. I'm a bit worried about whether this could lead to any problems in the future. What issues might it cause, and how can I address this change?

Fever can be uncomfortable. _Pacimol (Paracetamol) dosage:_ 1. _Adult dosage_: 500-1000 mg every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4000 mg in 24 hours. 2. _Minimum gap_: Wait at least 4-6 hours before taking another dose. _In your case:_ 1. _You can take another dose_: Since it's been 4 hours since your last dose, you can take another 650 mg of Pacimol. 2. _Monitor your fever_: Keep track of your temperature and consult a doctor if your fever persists or worsens. 3. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids to help your body recover from the fever. _Remember:_ 1. _Don't exceed the maximum dosage_: Avoid taking more than 4000 mg of Pacimol in 24 hours. 2. _Consult a doctor if necessary_: If your fever persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention.
