I have category 1 phimosis where my foreskin retracts fully when flaccid but only goes halfway down the head when erect. It feels tight if I try to pull it further back. I don't think surgery is necessary can you recommend any steroid creams or medicines to help loosen and increase flexibility in the foreskin?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For category 1 phimosis, where the foreskin retracts fully when flaccid but not when erect, steroid creams can be a helpful treatment option to increase foreskin flexibility. Specifically, topical corticosteroids like hydrocortisone or stronger creams like clobetasol (Dermovate) can be applied to help reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. Gentle foreskin stretching exercises, after applying the cream, can also be beneficial

View allI'm a bit concerned about a situation I've been experiencing. Whenever I imagine having sex, my sperm seems to come out without any physical stimulation like rubbing my penis. I'm not married yet, and I'm worried this might create problems for me when I do get married. Could this indicate that Im dealing with some kind of medical issue? What should I do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing **premature ejaculation** or **nocturnal emissions** (wet dreams), which are common in many men, especially when experiencing sexual thoughts or fantasies. This isn't typically a sign of any disease but could be related to heightened sexual arousal or stress. If you're concerned or if it affects your daily life, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.

I've been dealing with a UTI for the last ten days and have been taking medicines like Citralka syrup, Niftran, and Drotin M. However, my urine is still pale yellow, and my urinalysis showed 10-15 pus cells, with the culture coming back negative. How much longer will it take until I'm feeling better? I'm really getting tired of this.

Can varicocele grade 1 be fully treated without surgery? I've heard about homeopathy but not sure if it actually works for this condition. Are there other non-surgical options that might help?
Yes, grade 1 varicocele, which is the mildest form, can often be managed without surgery, especially if there are no significant symptoms or fertility concerns. Non-surgical options like lifestyle changes, certain supplements, and embolization can be effective alternatives. While homeopathy is often considered an alternative medicine, there is no scientific evidence to support its effectiveness in treating varicocele
