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.

I'm dealing with a 3mm stone in my left kidney. I'm curious if there's any general medicine in homeopathy that could help me pass it. Also, is there something preventive I could take to avoid future stones?

3mm stone will usually pass through urine on its own, no need of any treatment, but keep yourself well hydrated all time so that you can avoid formation of stone further, Regarding alternative medicine sorry I have no knowledge in that so cannot advice you.

Can getting pregnant with a torn condom work if we're trying for a baby by cutting the tip with scissors? I have tight foreskin and sex without a condom is painful, so we're using this method but not sure if it's effective. I might need surgery for phimosis but that could take months, and we want to try conceiving this year

It is possible.
