I have left reanal hydronephrosis with a 7mm ureteric calculus in the lower part and a small 3mm concretion in the lower calyx of my left kidney should I consider medicine or is surgery the better option here

Given the size of the ureteric calculus (7mm) and the presence of hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the better option for your situation. While a 3mm concretion in the lower calyx may be managed medically, the 7mm stone in the ureter and the associated hydronephrosis suggest a need for more definitive treatment.

What causes the burning sensation in a urinary tract infection?

Question

I'm feeling really worried about some health issues I'm experiencing. I've tested positive for HSV 1 IgG at 3.9, but my HSV 1 IgM is negative. I had unprotected sex about a year ago and my HIV test has come back negative since then. However, I've been dealing with a burning sensation on my penis and there's also pimples on the glans that aren't water-filled. I'm also experiencing a burning sensation on my tongue. I haven't started any treatment for HSV yet and I'm really concerned because I read online that not treating HSV could possibly lead to HIV in the future. I'm unmarried and this has me wondering if it's safe for me to get married in the future. Lastly, I had a liver sonography that revealed a grade 1 fatty liver about a month ago. Is this related to the HSV? What should I be doing now? I'm really in need of some guidance.
