How can I tell if my phimosis is congenital or developed as an adult also does having phimosis mean I'm impotent and can congenital phimosis be treated with betamethasone cream instead of surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Phimosis, whether congenital (present at birth) or acquired (developing later in life), does not automatically mean you are impotent. Congenital phimosis can sometimes be treated with topical corticosteroids like betamethasone cream, but surgery may still be necessary.

my dad is 80 but otherwise healthy - is laser surgery a good option for his prostate enlargement or are there risks we should know about at his age
Laser prostatectomy, especially holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) or photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP), can be a viable option for an 80-year-old healthy man with prostate enlargement. While risks exist, the benefits of improved urinary flow and reduced symptoms often outweigh them, especially when performed at a reputable facility according to RG Hospitals. However, it's crucial to have a thorough discussion with a urologist about potential complications, recovery time, and individual health factors.

I've been dealing with kidney stones that are 5mm in size in both of my kidneys, and it's really starting to worry me. The scan showed some obstruction in my right ureter, but the docs couldn't actually spot the stone there. What should I do next, and is this something I should be really concerned about? How can they not find the stone if its causing a blockage? I'm just trying to figure out what my options are and how serious this might be. Any advice would be great.
take plenty of fluids
