I have phimosis but it's not like the typical cases I've read about there's no pain, swelling, or trouble peeing, and everything else seems normal. The only issue is I've never been able to retract my foreskin since birth. Are there any non-surgical ways to manage this? Could it cause problems later or affect sex?

View allI have a 7mm kidney stone stuck in my right pelviureteric junction can medicines help pass it or is surgery the only option? What would you recommend?
A 7mm kidney stone lodged in the right pelviureteric junction (the junction where the kidney connects to the ureter) is unlikely to pass naturally and often requires medical intervention. While medications can help with some types of kidney stones, they are generally ineffective for calcium stones, which are the most common type. Surgery is often recommended for stones of this size and location

I'm feeling a bit confused about who to see for issues with erectile dysfunction. Should I be looking for a urologist or is an andrologist the right specialist? What's the actual difference between the two?
Mild splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) can coexist, but it's unclear if the enlarged spleen is directly causing your digestive issues. _Possible connections:_ 1. *Splenic flexure syndrome*: An enlarged spleen can put pressure on the splenic flexure (a part of the colon), leading to digestive issues like bloating, abdominal pain, and changes in bowel movements. 2. *Immune system imbalance*: The spleen plays a role in immune function. An enlarged spleen might contribute to immune system imbalances, which could exacerbate IBS symptoms. 3. *Inflammation*: Splenomegaly can be associated with chronic inflammation, which might worsen IBS symptoms. _However, it's essential to note:_ 1. *IBS is a complex condition*: IBS has multiple factors contributing to its development, including gut motility, hypersensitivity, and psychological factors. 2. *Mild splenomegaly might not be the primary cause*: Your IBS symptoms might be unrelated to the enlarged spleen, or the spleen might be only one of several contributing factors.

I've been having this pain in my penis for a couple of months now, especially when it gets erect. Its really concerning me. Does this sound like something serious? What could be causing pain inside my penis?
An erection normally occurs in response to physical or psychological stimulation. This stimulation causes certain blood vessels to relax and expand, increasing blood flow to spongy tissues in the penis. Consequently, the blood-filled penis becomes erect. After stimulation ends, the blood flows out, and the penis returns to its nonrigid (flaccid) state. Priapism occurs when some part of this system the blood, blood vessels or nerves changes normal blood flow, resulting in painful erections. Consult urologist for further evaluation...
