The doctor at Medanta Gurgaon recommended frenuloplasty surgery for me but I'm a bit nervous about it are there any other treatment options or alternatives I could consider instead of going straight for surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Frenuloplasty is commonly recommended to treat a tight or shortened frenulum, but alternatives like steroid creams or stretching exercises might help in milder cases. It's best to discuss with your doctor if these options could be suitable for you.

I have kidney stones measuring 1.2cm and 2.5cm, plus an 8mm and two smaller ones total of 5 stones in my left kidney. The doctor said I might need 2 or 3 surgeries, but I'm trying to avoid surgery and dissolve them naturally with ayurvedic tablets. Do these tablets actually work or is surgery the only option?
While ayurvedic tablets can play a role in managing kidney stones, especially in supporting the body's natural healing process, they are not a guaranteed solution for stones of this size and number. The stones you have (1.2cm, 2.5cm, 8mm, and two smaller) are large enough that surgery might be necessary, as suggested by your doctor.

I've been dealing with pain in both my testicles and thighs for about a year now, and I'm not sure if I should see an orthopedic specialist or a urologist. Could pain in the testicles and groin area be causing the discomfort in my thighs, or is that something different? I'd really appreciate some advice from either a urologist or an orthopedic specialist on who to consult first. I've asked before but didn't get a clear answer, so I'm hoping for some clarity this time.
Visit a Urologist first to evaluate the testicular pain. The urologist may perform physical exams, ultrasounds, or other tests to identify any underlying conditions in the reproductive system. If the urologist rules out any urological causes and suspects the issue may be muscular or nerve-related, you can then visit an orthopedic specialist for further evaluation of the thigh pain.
