Question 1

During my routine ultrasound, the doctor found that my left kidney is smaller, measuring 7.5 cm, while the right kidney is of normal size. In my last scan about 5 years ago, my left kidney was 10 cm. My urine test showed 100 mg/dl of protein, and my serum creatinine level is 1.24. Should I be worried about this? Does this indicate chronic kidney disease?

Accepted Answer

Treatment for a simple kidney cyst depends on whether it's causing symptoms or blocking urine or blood flow: No symptoms: A doctor may monitor the cyst periodically. Symptoms: A health care provider may recommend treatment, such as:Sclerotherapy: A long needle is used to puncture the cyst under ultrasound guidance, then the cyst is drained and filled with a solution to harden it. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. Laparoscopy: A surgeon uses a laparoscope, a tube with a small video camera, to locate the cyst. The cyst is drained, then removed or burned. This procedure is performed in a hospital with general anesthesia and may require a one or two day stay.

Question 6

When I ejaculate, I feel a burning sensation and a weird feeling inside my penis. Some days it's fine, but it keeps feeling off for a while after. Is this something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

When you experience a burning sensation inside your penis after ejaculation, it could be due to inflammation or infection in the urinary tract or prostate. I recommend you to take a course of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin to treat any possible infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any bacteria. If the symptoms persist, it is important to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.
