The symptoms you've described, such as white spots on the penile head, itching, and swelling of the foreskin, may indicate a fungal infection like candidiasis or balanitis; consult a urologist or dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment,

Question

I'm feeling a bit worried after my ultrasound today showed a 3.8 mm stone in my kidney. Can you help me understand what this means and suggest what I should do next? I'm looking for a good urologist. Does this size stone usually pass on its own, or will I need treatment?

Question

I'm having a bit of a problem where my frenulum seems too short, making my foreskin really tight and painful when I try to pull it back over the head. I'm wondering, is frenuloplasty my only option here? Also, how much does that kind of surgery typically cost?

Question

I'm dealing with a needle-like pinch and hot sensations on the edges of my scrotum, and it's been really concerning. Plus, when I sit on a bike or even a chair, my right thigh and lower abdomen get painful. I've had a sonography done, and there's no hernia, which is a relief, but still confusing. I went to a neurologist who gave me Maxmela Forte to help, and it does reduce the pain a bit, but I still feel uneasy. This has been going on for about a month now, and I'm just not sure what's going on or what else I should be doing. Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to get more relief?
