My cousin has a liver stone and we're wondering if robotic surgery could be an option for this. We're based in Delhi and have all the test reports ready. Could you advise if this condition might need robotic surgery and if we should bring the patient along with the reports for a consultation?

Liver stone can be treated by ERCP or laparoscopic/robotic surgery if accessible; bring all reports to GI surgeon in Delhi for confirmation.

Question

I have an 11mm stone in my left kidney and my doctors recommended RIRS laser surgery but I'm wondering if lithotripsy could work instead for my case

I've been having a mild blockage in my urethra, but only sometimes most of the time it's just a bit of trouble starting. There's no pain, burning, or blood, and I don't have issues emptying my bladder. The blockage feeling is right at the tip when I pee. Could this go away on its own without needing surgery?

Question

I've been masturbating after smoking weed for a really long time, sometimes even two or three times a day for several consecutive days, and it's been super satisfying. But I'm starting to wonder if this habit could cause any issues. What could be the possible effects or results of this?
