View all3 months and 15 days ago I had hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh but now I have pain in the circular area is this normal or could there be a problem
It's possible that the pain you're experiencing is normal post-surgery, but it's crucial to consult with your doctor to rule out any complications. While some pain is expected after hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh, it should typically decrease over time. If the pain persists or worsens, especially in a circular area, it could indicate a problem like nerve damage, inflammation, or even mesh-related issues

Four years ago I had a ureteroscopy to remove a 4-5mm blockage stone in my ureter. Now I'm having pain on my left side and my recent ultrasound showed a 2.5mm stone in the mid calyx of my right kidney and a 2.9mm stone in the lower calyx of my left kidney with mild pcs dilation. I really don't want another surgery are there any other treatment options for these stones? What would you suggest?
Given your history and the current situation with 2.5mm and 2.9mm stones, the most likely recommendation is to wait and monitor the stones and your pain levels. Smaller stones often pass naturally, and observing them is a good first step. If the pain becomes severe or you have signs of infection, further intervention might be necessary
