Question 1

I'm dealing with this terrible pain because of a 3.5 mm kidney stone in my right kidney that has been hurting like crazy for the last two weeks. I met a doctor, but they just suggested painkiller injections and said that the stone is too small for an operation. They did recommend some blood tests, and I'm not sure what to make of the results. Is the pain only because of the kidney stone, or could it be something else? Should I consider surgery anyway, or are there medications or precautions that could help? Also, could you suggest a good nephrologist in Kolkata who might be able to help me? If theres a specific diet I should follow, Id love to know about that too. I'm really struggling here, and it's affecting my work a lot.

Accepted Answer

Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone. Avoid foods high in oxalates such as spinach, beets, and nuts, as they can contribute to the formation of kidney stones. As for the abnormal blood test results, your elevated WBC count and low MCHC may indicate an infection. It would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible antibiotic treatment if deemed necessary. You can request your doctor to prescribe moderate to strong painkillers to achieve relief from pain.

Question 2

My father was just diagnosed with prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 34. One doctor recommended hormone therapy, but from what I've read, robotic surgery seems like a better option since hormone therapy isn't a full cure. I'm really confused about what treatment would be best for him can you help explain the pros and cons of each?

Accepted Answer

Hormone therapy can control prostate cancer but is not curative; robotic surgery may remove cancer but depends on age, stage, and fitness‚Äîboth have pros and cons.

Question 3

I've been struggling with this issue for the past two years where I can't fully penetrate my girlfriend because my erection doesn't stay hard enough, and I end up ejaculating within just a few seconds, even before actually getting in. The only way I can manage penetration is if I take kutub 30x 50mg or penegra 50mg about an hour before we're intimate. I'm really unsure about what's going on, and I'd appreciate any advice you might have on how to deal with this. Can you help?
