I'm trying to figure out which would be better to takePanegra 50, Caverta 50, or Manforce 50? Im also curious about what the recommended dosage would be for these and if they have any side effects. When would be the best time to take one of these?

Panegra 50, Caverta 50, and Manforce 50 are all brand names for Sildenafil Citrate, commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. The typical dosage is 50 mg, taken 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity, and can be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerance. Common side effects include headache, dizziness, flushing, and indigestion. It's important to avoid taking these with nitrate medications, as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Always follow your doctor's guidance for safe use.

I'm a bit worried about some test results I got. It says I have two non-obstructing calculus in my right kidney, one measuring 3.5mm and another 4.0mm, located in the interpole and lower pole calyx. The left kidney also has two non-obstructing calculus, measuring 3.6mm and 4.4mm in the same areas. Should I be concerned about these? Are there any symptoms I should watch out for or lifestyle changes I need to make?

Can lithotripsy work for a 22mm kidney stone? I'm really scared of surgery and hoping there's another option

Stones that are smaller than 2 cm in diameter are the best size for SWL. The treatment might not be effective in very large ones. SWL is more appropriate for some people than others. Because x-rays and shock waves are needed in SWL, pregnant women with stones are not treated this way.

I had a boil on my penile shaft and I popped it, but I'm still feeling pain there. Now there's also another pain that started just above the penis on the right side near the bladder area. I'm really worried about this. What could be going on?

After popping a boil on your penile shaft, persistent pain, along with new pain near the urinary bladder area, may indicate a potential infection, abscess, or inflammation of the surrounding tissues; it's essential to consult a urologist or a dermatologist promptly to assess the situation, as untreated infections can lead to more severe complications, such as cellulitis, epididymitis, or prostatitis; expect a physical examination, potentially followed by diagnostic tests like urine analysis, ultrasound, or imaging studies to determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
