Provider Details
Dr. Nicolas Lailas MD's Expert Contributions
Testicle pain?
ER or see a urologist. Need to rule out a testicular rupture or hematoma. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Urinate blood?
He was there most likely that is due to a stone that you were passing, but you need to be worked up with a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis, and you also will need someone to look inside your bladder. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Pre cum or semen?
You won’t know. But if you had not been sexually active or ejaculated in a week or longer, sometimes you build up more semen. That would account for the larger amount. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Genital advice?
Doesn’t look like scabies, but could be due to the detergent or fabric of your underwear. Change the type of washing machine soap and use cotton underwear. If that does not work, see a dermatologist. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
What foods cause kidney stones?
Depends which stone you have and what your metabolic workup shows. Sometimes you're lacking something. You need a 24-hour collection and blood work to figure that out exactly. If you wanted to just fly by the seat of your pants and do something, but not the above, rule of thumb is drink your weight in pounds x 15ml/lb every day and avoid salt and add real lemon to your water. Avoid in excess colas, coffee, spinach, tea, and peanuts. Take no more than 800mg of calcium supplements a day. My advice is to get the urine and blood work. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Kidney stone stent?
You can have intercourse with a stent, but it may be more sensitive on your bladder. You will not hurt anything. Hopefully they got your stone out and will be able to remove the stent in the next 3 to 4 days. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Pimple/ingrown hair?
If you manscape, it most likely is an ingrown hair. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Men's PSA count?
The PSA should be concerning if the trend has been going up more than 0.75 per year in three consecutive blood draws. The average norm for a 75-year-old is a PSA between 4.0 and 6.5. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Can an untreated UTI in a man cause trichonoiasis?
No. Trichinosis is its own infection. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Ultrasound interpretation?
Just looking at the bladder, it appears that it is normal. However, you need to have a cystoscopy to really look at the lining of the bladder. Have you been having urinary tract infections? If you have, that would be the other cause of bleeding or if you had kidney stones. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Sack pull?
Not heard of this before, but if it feels good and it doesn’t hurt you, it’s OK. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Epididymal separation?
The two structures are separate, and if there truly is a separation, a scrotal ultrasound would be indicated. This would be very rare, and if it did, it would’ve been very painful to have that happen to you. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Foreskin?
You need to be evaluated by a professional to give you the different options available to you. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Should I get retested for an STI?
You don’t need to retest because that test was negative, and most of the tests that are done now are very sensitive, so if the bacteria is present, it will show up on the test. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
What size of kidney stone requires surgery?
Typically, a stone that is 2 mm or less has a 85% chance of passage alone, 3 mm a 75% chance, a 4 mm has a 60% chance to pass a 5 mm to 6 mL is 40 to 50% a 78 mm is 20% and anything above that typically does not pass. We also do surgery on 2 mm stones that just won’t progress and continue to cause pain. In my practice, I typically give people at least two weeks to pass unless they’re doubled over in pain. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Urinating frequently?
That is completely not normal. Most people in a 24-hour period will urinate a times in that timeframe. You definitely have something wrong and need to be evaluated. Sometimes blood pressure medicine is a diuretic, and if you were taking a diuretic, it will make you urinate more frequently. If you are on such a diuretic for your blood pressure, sometimes they can change it to a different drug so that it doesn’t cause that side effect. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Can urinary retention cause chronic fatigue?
Probably not. You need to have a post void residual in to see if you truly are retaining. If you are going frequently at night, that might be the cause of your fatigue because you’re not getting enough sleep. They may need to address why you’re going so frequently. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Testicle pain?
Probably nothing, but could be if you had not ejaculated in a while, you may have some mild inflammation of the epididymis, which you can treat with 400 mg of Motrin or Advil. If it doesn’t get better in a few days, then I would probably order a squirrel ultrasound on you. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Understanding urine analysis?
You have a UTI. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Red ball sack?
That is not normal. You should follow up with the urologist who did the biopsy and have him look at the scrotum. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
