I've been having back pain for a few months and an ultrasound showed a 10x9mm cortical cyst in my right kidney's lower pole - should I be worried about this? Do I need surgery for something this size or can it be managed without an operation?

Undergo CT scan with contrast to find out if cyst is complex or not . If complex u may require surgery but I‚Äôm not complex nothing to worry. Ultrasound can also specify simple cyst if done by good radiologist

Question

I'm a 32-year-old guy and for the last couple of days, I've been experiencing this really mild pain and a kind of vibration in my left testicle that sometimes shoots down to my left leg. It's pretty weird and has me a bit worried since I've already had an ultrasound on my lower abdomen, and everything came back normal. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

Question

I'm dealing with kidney stones in both kidneys, each about 34 mm, and I'm experiencing severe pain in my left flank and back. I tried taking Drotin, but it didn't help. The stones are in the upper pole of my left kidney. What should I do next? Any advice would be appreciated!

Question

I'm feeling this constant pain that starts from my lower back and moves upwards, plus there's pain around my groin area. It's been pretty uncomfortable, and I'm worried because it also feels weird at the end of peeing. It kind of started with a burning sensation when passing urine and semen. I tried some temporary treatments with medicines like Silofast, Gabapin NT, and Liofen Ten, which eased the pain a bit, but once I stopped, the problems came back. I've done tests like USG, Urine Test, Uric Acid Test, Creatinine Test, and a Lipid Profile, and everything seems normal except my Uric Acid level, which is at 6.39. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on and what can I do to get the relief I'm looking for. Any ideas?
