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:
- Past injury or infection
- Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
- Demyelinating diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis)
- Tumors or cysts
Treatment and seriousness depend on underlying cause:
- If caused by past injury or infection, treatment might focus on managing symptoms.
- If related to demyelinating disease or tumor, treatment may involve disease-modifying therapies or surgery.
Recommendation:
Consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for:
- Detailed evaluation
- Determining underlying cause
- Developing a personalized treatment plan

View allI've had a 7mm kidney stone for a month now that hasn't moved at all. It's not painful but causing issues like blood in my urine, burning sensation, and trouble urinating. Should I consider surgery or is there another way to deal with this?
Non-painful 7mm stones causing hematuria and burning may need lithotripsy—consult urology for treatment options.

I'm experiencing something strange and I'm a bit confused about it. Lately, I've noticed that every time I sit down to eat a meal, like lunch or dinner, I end up with a pretty intense erection. I can't figure out why this is happening. Could this be normal or is there something I should be concerned about?
Chronic headaches can be debilitating. To determine the cause, let's break it down: *Possible Causes* 1. *Tension Headaches*: Tight muscles in the neck and scalp can cause headaches. 2. *Migraines*: A neurological condition characterized by intense, throbbing headaches, often accompanied by sensitivity to light, sound, and nausea. 3. *Sinusitis*: Inflammation or infection of the sinuses can cause headaches. 4. *Eye Strain*: Prolonged use of computers, smartphones, or other digital devices can cause eye strain, leading to headaches. 5. *Dehydration*: Inadequate hydration can cause headaches. 6. *Sleep Disorders*: Poor sleep quality, insomnia, or sleep apnea can contribute to headaches. 7. *Nutritional Deficiencies*: Lack of essential nutrients like magnesium, vitamin B2, or coenzyme Q10 can cause headaches. 8. *Hormonal Changes*: Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation, menopause, or pregnancy can lead to headaches. 9. *Medication Overuse*: Frequent use of pain-relieving medications can cause rebound headaches. 10. *Underlying Medical Conditions*: Certain conditions like hypothyroidism, anemia, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause headaches. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a Doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a neurologist to discuss your headaches. 2. *Keep a Headache Diary*: Track your headaches, including when they occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers.

I've done a semen culture test and it says I have a bacteria called staphylococcus aureus with moderate growth. I'm not sure what this means. I had a urinary infection a year ago that didn't seem to go away, and after some tests, I found out I had a bacteria called proteus which got cured with medicine. But now, a month after treatment, the semen test is showing this new bacteria. Can you explain what staphylococcus aureus is and which type of doctor I should talk to about fixing this issue?
The presence of Staphylococcus aureus (moderate growth) in your semen culture test indicates a bacterial infection, which can cause symptoms like discharge, pain, or inflammation; given your history of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and previous bacterial infection (Proteus), consult a urologis
