I've got some meftal spas tablets at home. Is it okay to take them for kidney stone pain since my family doctor prescribed them to me before? I'm a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe.

Focal gliosis in the right posterior periventricular region indicates:

  • Gliosis: Scarring or reactive change in brain tissue
  • Periventricular region: Area surrounding the ventricles (fluid-filled spaces) in the brain

Possible causes:

  1. Past injury or infection
  2. Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
  3. Demyelinating diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis)
  4. Tumors or cysts

Treatment and seriousness depend on underlying cause:

  1. If caused by past injury or infection, treatment might focus on managing symptoms.
  2. If related to demyelinating disease or tumor, treatment may involve disease-modifying therapies or surgery.

Recommendation:

Consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for:

  1. Detailed evaluation
  2. Determining underlying cause
  3. Developing a personalized treatment plan

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?
