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.

What are the chances that sperm could survive under my fingernail? I ended up with sperm on my fingers, and after four hours of washing my hands with medium hot water, I inserted my fingers deeply into my girlfriend's vagina. I'm concerned about the possibility of her getting pregnant. I read somewhere that sperm might live in warm places, and I'm wondering if the area under fingernails could be considered warm enough. What should I do?

I've been struggling with difficulty urinating for the past year I have to push hard to pee and my stream is weak. The cystoscopy showed only a high bladder neck issue, with normal prostate and urethra, but I constantly feel tightness there. My urine smells bad even though UTI tests are negative, and my post-void residue is 46ml. My doctor prescribed Alfoo tablets for life is that safe long-term? Could it harm my prostate or increase cancer risk? Are there any permanent non-surgical treatments for this?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
