Q: how do i treat massive bruise and lump on buttocks after fall down 3 stone steps?

Ice and time: Bruising on the buttocks is a difficult area to treat. Ice packs for 15 minutes every 3-4 hours while awake should help keep the swelling down. Do not apply heat as that could cause more bleeding into the bruise. Most large bruises heal up over a few weeks. If it is not resolving see your doctor.

Q: i was told i have a kidney stone, but i also have uti/bv like symptoms. can someone please tell me what my next steps should be?

Contact doctor: Presumably you have a doctor who told you of the kidney stone. S/He should be able to also examine you and do tests to see if you have UTI, bacterial vaginosis, or both. Or see a gynecologist. Be aware that STDs are more common in women with BV, and STDs can cause UTI-like symptoms, so STD testing also may be wise.

Q: does a person who tends to get kidney stones have 'kidney disease?" seems like my urologist told me i have it. what steps 2 take to be healthy?

Not really: "Kidney disease" usually means actual long-term damage to the filters or tubules. Kidney stones can cause tubular damage if the kidneys get infected as a result. Your best move is to drink plenty of water, enough so your urine is never dark but always near-clear. Specific stone compositions have specific regimens that may help.

Q: this is my forth time with kidney stones, my doctor doesn't seem like there is a cure, what steps can i take to prevent these, how long do they form.?

Keep well hydrated: Avoid foods that may favor stone formation.

Q: i fell up stone steps and hit upper ankle. swelling lump and tenderness with feeling of warmth. can walk on it but is really sore. is it broken?

Please get examined: With continued pain after a trauma, a physical exam and possible imaging studies are necessary to evaluate your condition. One could have a fracture and still be able to walk. Until being evaluated one can use RICE. Rest,ice,compression, and elevation.

Q: mosquito bite father this summer in forest and become as hard as stone 6cm diameter.went away in 2months.now hardness again comes and goes on and off?

See a doctor: it could be a a Lyme disease. or an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite. either way see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

Q: i am having pain on both of my sides in the waist area. it has happened before. lasted several weeks and went away. now it's back. negative for stones?

Muscle strain : May be a muscle strain of your flank muscles. This would be exacerbated by movement, particularly when doing a crunch, or twisting your body. If your concerned, see your primary care provider. Doesn't sound like its urgent. Hope this helps!

Q: what causes pain in the sinus area and cause tonsil pain / stones. ?

Unrelated: Sinuses and tonsils are not related pain-wise. You could have a cold with inflammation of the nasal passages/sinus openings and also causing sore throat/tonsil pain. Tonsil stones can be present with or without infection, and can be rinsed out with a "water pik" or gargles. Saline to the nasal passages can help sinus pain. See a doctor if you aren't getting better.

Question 1

what are the correct steps to deal with a urethral stone?

Accepted Answer

Multiple options.: Stones in the urinary tract that are small, <5 mm, can be watched to see if it passes on its own (trial of passage). If it is truly a urethral stone (in the urethra rather than the ureter), it is likely to pass on its own. If it is large or obstructing, a cystoscopy can be performed to remove it. A stone in the ureter may require a stent, ureteroscopy, or shock-wave lithotripsy.
