Question 1

I've been dealing with some mild pain and discomfort in my perineal area for the past month. It kind of feels like something's trying to push its way out, and there's this sensation of stretching inside. I went to a urologist, but he suggested I see a neurologist instead. What could be going on with me?

Question 2

My friend mentioned that he feels a burning sensation when he pees, especially towards the end. I recently gave him oral sex even though I had a cold and an itchy throat, and I also had a cough drop in my mouth at the time. Could that be causing his problem? What might be going on, and is there something he can take to feel better?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your friend may have a urinary tract infection (UTI) which can cause a burning sensation during urination. He can take an over-the-counter medication called Phenazopyridine (brand name Pyridium) to help relieve the burning sensation. However, it is important for him to also see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment, as UTIs can sometimes require antibiotics for complete resolution.

Question 3

My mom just got diagnosed with an 11mm kidney stone. Can this be treated with meds or will she need surgery? If surgery is needed, what kind would they recommend and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

For a kidney stone 11mm in size, treatment options often involve surgical procedures, as stones larger than 10mm are generally not expected to pass naturally. Common surgical techniques include Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL), Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS, and Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL). Medications can also play a role in managing pain and helping stones pass, but are less likely to be effective for larger stones.

To address erectness and hardness issues during intercourse, consider consulting a urologist or a sexologist for personalized guidance; in the meantime, natural remedies like L-arginine supplements, vitamin D, and zinc may help improve blood flow and erectile function;
