Hey, I'm a bit concerned because after masturbating, my foreskin isn't going back up and it's a little swollen underneath. There's no pain, but it's making me a bit anxious. Any advice on what I should do?

It sounds like you might be experiencing temporary swelling or tightness in the foreskin after masturbation, which can happen occasionally. If there's no pain or severe discomfort, it should improve on its own. However, if it persists or causes more concern, it's a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for reassurance.

View allI've been noticing a slight whitish scum that builds up under the foreskin around the base of the head of my penis. It seems to accumulate and I usually find it when I pull the skin back during cleaning. I'm not sure what this is, and I'm wondering if there's any treatment or something specific I should do about it. Can you offer some advice?
Leaving the Hospital and Homeopathic Treatment_ 1. _Medical supervision_: Since you've been hospitalized for severe pain and diagnosed with a kidney stone, it's essential to complete your treatment under medical supervision. 2. _Stone size reduction_: The reduction in stone size from 5.7mm to 3mm is a positive sign. However, it's crucial to ensure the stone passes safely and doesn't cause further complications. 3. _Homeopathic treatment_: While some homeopathic remedies, like Patharchatta (Bryophyllum pinnatum), may be suggested for kidney stone treatment, there is limited scientific evidence to support their effectiveness. Consult your doctor before adding any homeopathic remedies to your treatment plan. _Risks of Leaving the Hospital Prematurely_ 1. _Pain recurrence_: If the stone doesn't pass or is not properly treated, pain can recur. 2. _Infection or complications_: Untreated kidney stones can lead to infections, blockages, or other complications. 3. _Delayed treatment_: Leaving the hospital prematurely might delay necessary treatment, potentially leading to more severe consequences. _Recommendation_ 1. _Complete your hospital treatment_: Finish your treatment under medical supervision to ensure the stone passes safely and doesn't cause further complications. 2. _Consult your doctor about homeopathic remedies_: Discuss the potential benefits and risks of adding homeopathic remedies, like Patharchatta, to your treatment plan. 3. _Follow-up appointments_: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I have tight foreskin and I'm really uncomfortable with the idea of surgery are there any other treatments or solutions I can try
Preputioplasty is effective In children with congenital tightening of the foreskin. Several incisions are made into the tip of the foreskin to expose the head of the penis. The foreskin then needs to be retracted regularly until it has healed completely.

I'm dealing with paraphimosis and considering circumcision are there any side effects I should know about before going through with the surgery? Just want to make sure it's the right move for me.
With quick, proper treatment, the outlook for paraphimosis is very good. But if you can't put your foreskin back into position by yourself after treatment, you run the risk of getting paraphimosis again. That's why healthcare providers usually suggest circumcision.
