I'm 24 and dealing with really tight foreskin due to phimosis is there any non-surgical way to treat this? I'm worried about my condition and curious if stretching or creams might help instead of going straight to surgery.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Another effective alternate cure for phimosis is topical corticosteroids in the form of creams, ointments, or gels. Using these steroid creams for phimosis about 6-8 weeks improves the condition of phimosis in most cases. Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin.

I had hypospadias surgery when I was younger and now I'm 28. Can I still have a normal sex life or would I need another surgery to fix anything? I'm a bit worried about how this might affect things long-term
After hypospadias surgery, there may be long-term implications for fertility and sexual satisfaction. The surgical implications of hypospadias repair may include the risk of complications such as urethral strictures and fistulas, which can further affect sexual function.

My right ureter is a bit dilated in the middle and there's a 7mm stone in the lowest part. Do I really need surgery for this or can it pass with just medicines? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.
A 7mm kidney stone in the lower ureter, especially with associated dilation, likely won't pass on its own and surgery may be needed. While medications can help with pain and potentially aid passage, they are not a definitive solution for a 7mm stone.
