View allI've been having back pain for a few months and an ultrasound showed a 10x9mm cortical cyst in my right kidney's lower pole - should I be worried about this? Do I need surgery for something this size or can it be managed without an operation?
Undergo CT scan with contrast to find out if cyst is complex or not . If complex u may require surgery but I’m not complex nothing to worry. Ultrasound can also specify simple cyst if done by good radiologist

I have two kidney stones one is a 13mm stone in my right lower ureter near the iliac vessels with moderate hydroureteronephrosis, and the other is a 5mm stone in the lower pole of my left kidney. My creatinine is 1.13, urea is 18, and uric acid is 8. Is there any chance I can dissolve or pass these stones without surgery? My urologist is recommending urgent surgery because of the swelling in my right ureter, but I'd really like to avoid surgery if possible. Could ESWL be an option for me instead?
It's understandable that you'd want to explore non-surgical options for your kidney stones, especially with the 13mm stone causing moderate hydroureteronephrosis. While the 5mm stone might be a candidate for watchful waiting, the larger stone in your right ureter likely requires a more active approach. ESWL is a possibility for the right ureteral stone, but its effectiveness and suitability depend on factors like stone composition and location. Given the moderate hydroureteronephrosis, your urologist's concern for urgent intervention is justified.

I've been struggling with premature ejaculation for the last 2 years and it's really affecting my life. I tend to discharge early and it's becoming quite frustrating. Could you help me understand what's going on and maybe suggest some medication or treatments that could help with this issue?
Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common condition, and it's important to address both physical and psychological factors. I recommend speaking with a healthcare provider to rule out underlying causes, as treatments may include behavioral therapy, lifestyle changes, or medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or topical anesthetics to help delay ejaculation. Open communication with your partner can also be beneficial in managing this issue.
