I'm a 20-year-old and usually masturbate every 10 days or so, but this time I noticed some bleeding afterward. It's got me pretty freaked out. Is this something I should be worried about?

View allI'm dealing with a phimosis issue that I've had since birth. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Should I consider steroids or is surgery the better option? I'm based in Bangalore, so any local recommendations would be great too. What would you suggest?
Elevated SGOT (120) and SGPT (222) levels indicate liver stress, likely exacerbated by alcohol consumption. To reduce liver enzyme levels: Abstain from alcohol completely. Consider medications like: Silymarin (Livercare) to support liver health. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to reduce liver inflammation. Consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for personalized guidance and monitoring.

I've been taking steroids as a professional bodybuilder, but lately I noticed some changes in my left testicle it feels like there are extra veins or something. I looked it up and think it might be testicular varicocele, but I'm not sure. Could the steroids be causing this? Doctors always warn against steroids, but it's part of my job, so I can't stop. I know the risks, but this issue has me worried. Does varicocele need surgery, or can it heal on its own?
Get an Ultrasound and Doppler study of scrotum. Steroid has nothing to do with varicocele but it is possible due to heavy weight lifting. Please clarify what steroid you are taking. If corticosteroid like dexona, betnesol stop it gradually over many months. If testosterone or other anabolic steroid you can maintain these provided considering risk of infertility.

I've been dealing with really painful kidney stones - an 18mm one on the left side and a 3.3mm one on the right. The pain comes and goes but it's pretty intense when it flares up. Is there any way to get relief without having to go through surgery? What would be the best treatment options for stones this size?
You can pick from options like 1. Surgery ( most effective), 2. Extracorporeal short wave lithotripsy ( ESWL) in which there are no cuts involved. Medicines would not be effective except for relieving pain
