I have phimosis and I'm not sure if I need surgery or if it can be treated with medicines. If medicines can help, could you let me know which ones might work for my condition?

I've been dealing with hypogonadism and have tried testosterone gel, oral meds, and shockwave therapy for ED, but I'm still not sure if I'm fully better. I'm considering a penile implant for my ED are there any other treatments I should explore before going that route?

**Rephrased Query:** I have a 16mm kidney stone in my gallbladder and I'm really worried can this be dissolved with medicine or will I need surgery? I want a safe and permanent solution, so what's the best way to treat this?

16mm is very big size for a gallstone. Gall bladder stones do not get dissolved with any kind of medications. Rather with time they keep on growing and may lead to severe complications. The only safe and the permanent solution is laparoscopic surgery which is a very simple safe amd permanent treatment optikn with no side effects in whole lifetime ,please visit a laparoscopic surgeon who will explain you all the details related to surgery.avoid oily/spicy foods as these aggravate pain that is caused by the stones.
