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

I'm really worried because my urine culture test showed an E. coli count of 80,000, and it's been like this for a while now. My urologist prescribed antibiotics a few months back, and after taking them for two weeks, the count went up when I stopped. The medicine was switched, but now Im seeing E. coli again. I got an ultrasound KUB which turned out normal and did semen cultures as well, which showed another infection. Even after another round of antibiotics, the infection was still there. Ive been experiencing sharp abdominal pain and sometimes in the rectum, with my urine smelling bad. Why do I keep getting these recurring infections in both my urine and semen cultures? What could be causing this, and what tests should I consider doing next?
It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent E. coli infection that may not have fully cleared despite antibiotics. Chronic or recurrent infections can be due to incomplete treatment, an underlying issue like a urinary tract abnormality, or antibiotic resistance. It's important to consider a urine culture with antibiotic sensitivity testing, possibly imaging studies beyond ultrasound (like CT or MRI), and reviewing the semen culture results to address any underlying causes. A urologist or infectious disease specialist could help explore further options.

Can varicocele grade 1 be fully treated without surgery? I've heard about homeopathy but not sure if it actually works for this condition. Are there other non-surgical options that might help?
Yes, grade 1 varicocele, which is the mildest form, can often be managed without surgery, especially if there are no significant symptoms or fertility concerns. Non-surgical options like lifestyle changes, certain supplements, and embolization can be effective alternatives. While homeopathy is often considered an alternative medicine, there is no scientific evidence to support its effectiveness in treating varicocele
