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.

View allI've been diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele and I'm really confused about treatment options surgery, ayurvedic, or homeopathic. Which one actually works best? I'm pretty scared because I don't know if this condition is dangerous or what to expect
Surgery is most effective for grade 3 varicocele; ayurveda/homeopathy may relieve mild symptoms but not curative.
