A 6mm kidney stone stuck in the ureter can be managed by encouraging it to pass naturally, with the goal of avoiding surgery. This involves increasing fluid intake, potentially using medication to relax the ureter, and managing pain.

My nephew has a urinary bump below his private area and some doctors said it might be a fistula needing open surgery. Is there any chance it can heal with medicines or other treatments instead of surgery? Really worried and looking for advice.

Question

I've been experiencing something a bit odd that I'm worried about. Sometimes when I urinate, I find myself short of breath, but it doesn't happen all the time. It's only occurred about 5 or 6 times, with the last episode happening around 5 months ago. I don't have any significant medical history, so I'm unsure what's causing this. I'm curious if there might be some remedies I could try at home, or if this is something serious enough to see a doctor about. If so, could you suggest what kind of specialist I should consult? Any advice would be really helpful.
