I have a 1.2x1.1 cm simple cortical cyst in the upper pole of my right kidney. The urologist prescribed norfloxacin 400mg twice daily for 5 days and mentioned surgery if it doesn't improve. I'm 64 and retired without a pension should I be worried about needing surgery or are there other options I can explore first

I'm really struggling with balanitis, and I've tried clotrimazole, ketoconazole, and onabet without much success. Do you have any other suggestions or treatments that might be more effective? I'm concerned nothing is working, and I could really use some help on what to try next.

For balanitis that is not responding to clotrimazole, ketoconazole, or onabet, you can try using Terbinafine cream. Apply Terbinafine cream twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid any potential irritants.

I've noticed that my penis is 4.5 inches when erect with a girth of 4 inches, and Im wondering if theres anything I can do to make it longer and bigger. I've seen pills being sold both in markets and online, and I'm curious if any of them actually work. If they do, could you recommend one? I'm also exploring if there are specific exercises or yoga that could improve blood flow to the penis. Also, if I increase my testosterone levels by using ashwagandha, will that have any effect on penis growth? I'm really looking for advice on this, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

The size you mentioned is within the average range, and most pills or products claiming to increase size are not effective or safe. Focus on improving blood flow through Kegel exercises, pelvic stretches, and a healthy lifestyle. Ashwagandha may boost testosterone but won't directly impact penile growth.
