Question 1

Had a circumcision 10 days back but still feeling numbness in my penis with no sensitivity. My urine flow is also weaker than usual. When can I expect normal sensation to return and will this affect my sex life later?

Accepted Answer

It's understandable to be concerned about the numbness and weaker urine flow after circumcision. Numbness is a common and temporary experience, and it can take time for sensitivity to fully return. Weaker urine flow could be due to swelling or inflammation, and in some cases, a tight bandage might be contributing to urinary retention

Question 2

I've been diagnosed with multiple mild hydroureteronephrosis caused by a 7.1 mm stone in my upper ureter. There are also two stones in my right kidney (4.9 mm and 6.9 mm) and multiple stones in my left kidney with the largest being 4.7 mm and 2.2 mm. What should my next steps be? Can this be treated with just medications or will I need surgery?

Accepted Answer

Given the combination of stones and mild hydronephrosis, a multi-pronged approach is likely needed. The 7.1 mm stone in the ureter is likely to require medical or surgical intervention, while the smaller kidney stones might be managed medically, followed by a more targeted approach if necessary.
