View allI'm dealing with a stubborn 6 mm kidney stone at the UV junction that's causing mild hydronephrosis in my right kidney. The doctor put me on urimax 0.4 mg for 10 days. It's been 15 days now, and the back pain is still around, sometimes even getting unbearable. We're trying to flush it out by drinking lots of water, but it seems like nothing's changed. What should we do next?
The medication prescribed by your doctor, capsule Urimax 0.4 mg, is commonly used to help pass kidney stones by relaxing the muscles in the urinary tract. However, since the pain is still persistent and sometimes unbearable, it may be necessary to consider a different approach. In this case, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a medication like Tamsulosin (Flomax) to help with the passage of the kidney stone. Additionally, if the pain continues to be severe, your doctor may consider other interventions such as lithotripsy or surgery to remove the stone. It's important to keep hydrating well and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 38-year-old guy just diagnosed with kidney stones and the doctors say the stone is too big to pass on its own so they're recommending surgery with a stent Can you explain how the stent actually helps with stone removal and what kind of side effects I might expect from having it put in
Stent improves obstruction in the passage of urine and by passive dilatation of kidney tubes (ureter) passing to bladder ,may help in stone retrieval

I'm dealing with this intense burning sensation in my penis all day long, especially when it's erect. It feels like the nerves are stretching too much, which makes the pain unbearable. It's gotten to the point where I can't even sit on a bike. I found out I have trichomonas from a urine test and have been on treatment for 13 days, but I'm not seeing much progress. This has been going on for about five months now, and I'm getting pretty frustrated. I'm wondering if this infection can actually last that long and how much longer it might take to see some improvement. I've done all kinds of tests like MRI, color Doppler, and still, after all this time, the trichomonas was found in my urine test. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?
I'm sorry to hear about your discomfort. Trichomonas infection can sometimes cause persistent symptoms, and it may take longer to fully clear up depending on the severity. Since you've been under treatment for 13 days without significant improvement, I recommend revisiting your doctor to reassess your treatment plan or check for any other underlying issues. Its important to ensure you're receiving the correct medication and follow-up care.
