In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: While some supplements, like calcium or vitamin D, can be helpful in kidney stone prevention, they can actually put you more at risk for kidney stones if you rely on them too much. Ask your doctor if supplements are right for you before starting them. While it’s possible to prevent kidney stones, you’ll likely need medical treatment if you have one. Your doctor will do a urine test and possibly an X-ray, MRI or CT-scan to determine the size of your kidney stone. Then, they’ll advise you on how to pass it. Visit your doctor if you notice the following symptoms:  Severe pain in your side and back below your ribs Radiating pain from your lower abdomen to your groin Fluctuating pain Pain when you urinate Feeling like you constantly need to urinate Urinating in small amounts Pink, red, or brown urine Urine that’s cloudy or smells strongly Nausea or vomiting Fever and chills (if you get an infection) While you likely don’t need to worry, kidney stones have the potential to develop into a serious condition. If this happens, you need prompt medical treatment to help pass your stone and possibly treat an infection caused by the stone. Visit an urgent care center or an emergency room if you have the following symptoms:  Blood in your urine Difficulty passing urine Pain that’s so severe you can’t get comfortable Pain with nausea and vomiting Pain with fever and chills The most common treatment for kidney stones is to drink lots of water and take pain relievers. Additionally, your doctor may give you medication to relax your muscles so that the kidney stone passes easily. However, you may need to have your kidney stone removed if it’s very large or causing you a lot of pain.  If your doctor decides you need to have your kidney stone removed, they may try to break up the stone with sound rays. If this doesn’t work or the stone is too big, they might make a small incision into your back so they can remove the stone. If your kidney stone gets stuck in your ureter, your doctor may insert a lighted tube up your urethra and bladder. Then, they’ll try to break up or remove the kidney stone.
Summary: Talk to your doctor before taking dietary supplements. See your doctor if you recognize signs of a kidney stone. Get immediate medical care if you develop severe symptoms. Ask your doctor about your treatment options.

Opening a package with your teeth might be convenient, but tiny rips in the condom can happen that you might not notice before you put it on. Instead, tear open the wrapper by pulling apart the premade notch on one of the corners. Never use scissors, knives, or other sharp objects to open the package or you may accidentally puncture the condom. If it feels dry, stiff, or extra sticky when it comes out of the package, it might not have been stored properly. Discard a dry, sticky, and/or stiff condom and get a new one. Rings and genital piercings can tear a condom, so you may want to remove them before putting on a condom. Also, be careful when putting on a condom if you have sharp nails. Make sure you have squeezed the air out of the tip. Air in the tip of the condom can cause it to burst open and break during use. Squeeze the tip between your forefinger and thumb while you roll the rest of the condom down the penis. There are a couple of reasons why you need to make sure you have the right sized condom. Your condom should be neither too small nor too big and shouldn't roll back up from the base once you have it on an erect penis. Measure your erect penis to ensure you buy the right size - it might take a few tries to make sure you have the best fit.  You need to have room at the tip to catch the semen. That tip that you pinched to squeeze out the air so the condom wouldn't burst has to have room for ejaculate. If you don't have space at the tip, the condom could burst, leaving you and your partner at risk for STIs and pregnancy. The condom can't be too loose so as to move around. A loose-fitting condom allows for movement of fluids or could fall off all together, again putting you and your partner at risk. Measure for fit at home before you buy.  Be realistic; don't go for image. “Small” and “large” sizes have more to do with width than length but you can also get shorter or longer condoms, so practice safer sex and choose wisely. Oil-based lubricants can weaken the condom and make it break. Choose a water-based lubricant instead.  Don't use oil-based lubricants, baby oil, massage lotion, petroleum jelly, or hand cream as a lubricant.

One-sentence summary -- Do not use your teeth. Keep the package away from sharp objects. Feel the condom. Remove jewelry if it is in the way. Pinch the tip. Check your fit. Use a water-based lubricant.

Problem: Article: Spinal discs are parts of the body. If the body is dehydrated, the discs will also be dehydrated. Water is essential for optimum health of fibrocartilage of the discs. Dehydration will make it harder and difficult to regain normal shape and function. Drink about 3 liters (0.8 US gal) of water each day. Blood circulation to your back area should be good to reach that water. Our normal body pH is 7.4 which is slightly alkaline (pH 7 is neutral). It helps to deposit calcium in immature bones and cartilage. If the body's pH becomes acidic, various alkaline substances including calcium tend to neutralize the excess acid. Therefore calcium is lost from bones and cartilages, drying them out.  Coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, refined sugar, junk foods, fast foods, overcooked foods, refined breads, meat, etc. make our body acidic. Try to avoid them. Raw foods, particularly vegetables, are good to maintain alkalinity of blood and body tissue. Consuming too much milk also makes the blood pH acidic although it is a good source of calcium. Calcium is the building block of the bones. It is also important for optimum health of cartilage. Calcium strengthens vertebral discs as well as fibrocartilages. It is particularly important for the elderly and post-menopausal females, who are more prone to develop calcium deficit and fractures.  Nut-milks, nut-butters (not peanut butter), nuts, seeds, green vegetables like broccoli, green leaves and sprouts are examples of calcium rich foods. You may also take calcium supplements if you are doubtful about dietary sources or if you have a recognized calcium deficit. Take Tab Calcium 500 mg or Tab Calcium+ Vitamin D preparation once daily until your symptoms disappear completely. . Regular exercising is very good for bones and joints functioning. Any form of exercising like yoga aerobics or simple walking, can be employed. Here's how it helps:  By strengthening back muscles, weight bearing potential is improved. Increases spinal flexibility. By strengthening belly muscles and muscles of legs and arms, weight is evenly distributed and this reduces back strain. Age related bone loss is significantly minimized, thus making the spines strong and able to withstand the stress. . You might have noticed that obese people complain more of backache, disc prolapse and all other sorts of spine problems. When you are upright, your weight is supported by the spine, so the spine has to bear the additional stress when a person is obese. This causes minor injuries and degeneration. Try to keep your weight at an ideal limit for your height. Your doctor will be able to pinpoint a good weight for you and start you on a plan to lose weight and exercise safely. Even a few pounds can make a difference!

Drink plenty of water. Keep your blood alkaline. Eat calcium-rich foods. Exercise Lose weight
