I'm a 28-year-old male with phimosis, and while it hasn't caused me any major issues so far, I'm a bit worried because it seems unusual to still have this at my age. Is there any way to treat phimosis without surgery? It's kind of embarrassing, and I'm not sure if this is normal for someone my age.

Topical steroid creams and stretching exercises may help phimosis. It's not uncommon in adults and treatable without surgery in many cases.

I've been diagnosed with multiple mild hydroureteronephrosis caused by a 7.1 mm stone in my upper ureter. There are also two stones in my right kidney (4.9 mm and 6.9 mm) and multiple stones in my left kidney with the largest being 4.7 mm and 2.2 mm. What should my next steps be? Can this be treated with just medications or will I need surgery?

Given the combination of stones and mild hydronephrosis, a multi-pronged approach is likely needed. The 7.1 mm stone in the ureter is likely to require medical or surgical intervention, while the smaller kidney stones might be managed medically, followed by a more targeted approach if necessary.
