I've noticed that whenever I drink water, I end up needing to use the toilet in just about 5 minutes. Because of this, I try not to drink too much water, especially at night. It's kind of worrying me, and I'm not sure what I should do about it. Any ideas?

View allI'm a 64-year-old guy, and I've had this high fever since yesterday. I'm also dealing with frequent Urination every couple of hours, but it feels like I have to go more than what actually comes out. My doctor suggested Citralka and Dolo, but I'm wondering if there's any other medication I should be taking? Could this frequent urination be a sign of something more serious?
CT value of 32 in your husband's RT-PCR test result indicates that the test detected a relatively low amount of viral RNA. This suggests that the infection is likely mild, and he may be less contagious . However, it's essential to note that CT values aren't always a perfect indicator of infectivity or symptom severity. Some studies have shown that people with high CT values (above 30) can still be infectious, although the likelihood decreases . Given your husband's mild symptoms, such as a cough and sore throat, and a high oxygen saturation level (SpO2 of 99), it's likely that he's experiencing a mild case of COVID-19.

I've got a 16 mm stone in my left kidney and a 6 mm stone in my right. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Can these be removed without having to go under the knife?
The 6mm stone in your right kidney is likely to pass on its own with hydration and medical expulsive therapy, but the 16mm stone in your left kidney is larger and less likely to pass naturally; for the larger stone, surgeon may recommend shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), ureteroscopy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to break up or remove the stone, depending on its composition, location, and your overall health; consult a urologist or nephrologist

Is it normal to have no bacteria present if there's a history of urine infections? I've had kidney stones last year and have had urine infections 2 or 3 times. Should I be worried or is this within the normal range?
Based on your history of recurrent urine infections and a kidney stone last year, it is important to monitor your urine parameters closely. A normal urine test should not show any bacteria present. To prevent further infections, you can consider taking cranberry supplements or D-mannose powder to help maintain urinary tract health. Additionally, you can ask your doctor about prescribing you with a low-dose antibiotic such as Nitrofurantoin to take after intercourse or as a prophylactic treatment. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your kidney health and prevent future complications.
