I'm 28 and about to get married but I have a foreskin that doesn't retract. There's no infection, but my friends suggested sunthi surgery. I'm scared about the procedure can this be fixed with medicines instead? If I need surgery, where should I go and how much does it usually cost? Also how many days will recovery take

Circumcision is a very safe procedure. Certain ointments have been tried but in my experience I can tell you that they don't actually work. So better to go for circumcision. It just requires a maximum of 1 day hospitalisation. Cost would differ from hospital to hospital.

I'm dealing with a kidney stone that's about 98 MM for the past two months, and I'm not experiencing severe pain. Is it really possible for the stone to pass without treatment? Everyone says it might come back even after treatment. Are there specific foods I should avoid to help with this, like someone suggested steering clear of tomatoes? I've been drinking more water and tender coconut water daily for the last two months, and thankfully, I'm only feeling a bit of pain now. I also try to walk and do some small exercises in the morning. The doctor mentioned the stone is nearly 1 cm, so I'm wondering if it can pass without treatment. Could you give me some advice on all these concerns?
Kidney stones of 9-10mm usually don't pass on their own without treatment, especially if there is no severe pain. While drinking plenty of water and staying active are great for kidney health, it's important to follow your doctor's advice for treatment. To avoid recurrence, limit foods high in oxalates (like spinach, beets, and chocolate), salt, and animal protein. Regular check-ups are crucial for monitoring your condition.

My foreskin doesn't retract like it should it's not super tight but still won't go back. I'd rather avoid surgery are there any medications or treatments that could help with this?
If your foreskin isn't fully retracting and you'd like to avoid surgery, a topical steroid cream or ointment is often recommended. These medications can help soften and loosen the foreskin, making retraction easier. In some cases, gentle stretching exercises can also be beneficial.
