For mild to moderate phimosis, topical steroid creams and stretching exercises are often the first line of treatment, with the goal of softening and stretching the foreskin to allow it to retract more easily. Topical steroid creams, such as betamethasone valerate (Betnovate) or hydrocortisone, are commonly used. Stretching exercises, when combined with cream use, can further enhance the foreskin's elasticity and ability to retract

I have a 6 mm kidney stone stuck in the left ureter near the bladder, and my doctor is recommending ureteroscopy surgery. I'm not in India right now I live in Kuwait and I'm wondering if this can be treated with medicine instead or if surgery is really necessary. The CT report shows the stone's location clearly.
