I'm wondering how soon I can have sex now that my kidney stent has been removed. I had a ureteroscopy and laser surgery on May 11, 2017, to take out a stone from my kidney, and they left a stent in for two weeks. It was just removed yesterday, and my urine is mostly clear now, with just a bit of blood. Can you advise me on whether it's safe to resume sexual activity and if there are any precautions I should take?

After the removal of your kidney stent, its generally safe to resume sexual activity once any discomfort or bleeding has subsided and you're feeling comfortable. However, it's important to listen to your bodyif there's still slight bleeding or discomfort, its best to wait a few more days. Always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been dealing with a urinary infection and her alkaline phosphatase levels are at 250. I'm not sure what treatment options would be best for her. Could you help us figure this out?

Persistent Cough with Blood-Streaked Sputum and Dizziness _Concerns and Recommendations_ 1. _Incomplete treatment_: Azithral (azithromycin) for 5 days might not have fully cleared the infection. 2. _Blood-streaked sputum_: This symptom warrants further investigation to rule out underlying conditions, such as: - Pneumonia - Bronchitis - Pulmonary embolism (less likely, but possible) - Tuberculosis (TB) 3. _Dizziness_: This could be related to the underlying infection, smoking, or other factors. 4. _Smoking_: Your frequent smoking habit may be exacerbating the condition.
