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've noticed a lump under my testicles for the past few days. It's not really painful, but if I play or masturbate, I start feeling a dull ache in my testicles. When I touch it, the lump doesn't feel very hard, more like a worm-like structure. Also, sometimes my scrotum feels heavy and looks like it's hanging lower on one side. What could this be?

Tongue Ulcer and Concerns about Oral Cancer _Symptoms:_ 1. Ulcer on the right side of the lower tongue 2. Minimal pain, unless touched 3. No improvement with Zytee gel application for 3 days _Concerns about oral cancer:_ 1. _Unlikely to be oral cancer_: Most oral cancers are painful, grow rapidly, and are associated with other symptoms like difficulty swallowing, numbness, or bleeding. 2. _More likely a traumatic or infectious ulcer_: Given the location and your history of broken teeth and dental issues, the ulcer might be caused by trauma (e.g., biting your tongue) or infection. _Recommended steps:_ 1. _Consult a dentist or oral surgeon_: Schedule an appointment to evaluate the ulcer and your dental issues. 2. _Biopsy (if necessary)_: If the dentist suspects something unusual, they might recommend a biopsy to rule out oral cancer. 3. _Treatment for the ulcer_: Your dentist might prescribe antibiotics or antifungal medications, depending on the cause of the ulcer. 4. _Address dental issues_: Get your broken teeth and dental issues treated to prevent further complications. _Oral cancer screening:_ 1. _Regular dental check-ups_: Visit your dentist regularly for oral cancer screenings, especially if you have a history of tobacco use, heavy drinking, or a family history of oral cancer.

Can a grade 3 varicocele on the right side measuring 3.1 mm and left side at 4.1 mm be treated without surgery? Also have an epididymal cyst should I be worried about that too?

A Grade 3 varicocele (as described with your measurements) usually requires surgical treatment, but non-surgical options like embolization may be considered. An epididymal cyst is generally not a cause for concern and often resolves on its own
