Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are hard deposits that form in the kidneys, made up of minerals that are normally present in urine. They can vary in size, from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a nickel, occasionally even larger. Sometimes they lodge in the kidney, and sometimes they break free and make their way out through the urinary tract, which can be extremely painful.
Kidney stones can be smooth or jagged and are yellow to brown in color. They are mostly comprised of the minerals calcium, oxalate, and phosphorus. Examining the stones to see what they are made of can show what caused the stone to be formed in the first place. For example, a stone made of mostly calcium, which is the most common type, can happen any time the urine becomes too concentrated due to dehydration or a blockage in the kidney. A uric acid stone forms when acid levels in the urine get too high, usually due to excessive consumption of animal protein such as meat and fish. A struvite stone is a sign of certain infections, and a cystine stone can be due to a genetic disorder that raises the risk of kidney stones.
The most common symptom of kidney stones is pain, either in the back or lower abdomen, or severe pain when urinating. There may also be blood in the urine. Treatment for kidney stones depends on how large the stone is. Very small stones can pass out of the body on their own, and they do not require treatment other than drinking adequate water and taking pain killers. Larger stones need to be broken apart and removed. The main treatment options are:
People who have had one kidney stone are at risk of developing another. To reduce this risk, patients are given instructions specific to the type of stone they developed. Generally the instructions will include drinking more water to dilute the urine, but it may also involve lowering sodium intake or eating less meat.
Penile Implant Surgery
A penile implant, or prosthesis, is a device that is surgically implanted in the penis to help men suffering from erectile dysfunction. Penile implant surgery replaces non-functioning tissue in the penis to help men achieve and maintain erections. For men with erectile dysfunction that is caused by an underlying medical condition, surgery is an option when medications, injections, and other non-surgical treatments have failed to work.
Implantation of the prosthesis is performed through an incision in the abdomen or scrotum. Depending on the type of implant, penile implant surgery will be completed within one to three hours. Recovery following penile implant surgery will usually take one or two days, and
implants may last indefinitely. However, there are risks associated with implants, including breakage, leakage, and infection. Broken or infected implants are treated by removal, repair, or replacement.
Following implantation, patients may return to full physical and sexual activity in about a month. Patients may need to take medication to ease pain and prevent infection, and they should avoid wearing tight clothing in the weeks after their procedure.
