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.

View allI have an 8.33 mm kidney stone stuck in my ureter about 7 cm from the bladder. Is there a chance it can pass on its own or will I need surgery? I'm currently taking Elements Uri flush syrup but not sure if it's enough to help
An 8.33 mm kidney stone stuck in the ureter, 7 cm from the bladder, has a lower chance of passing naturally, but it's not impossible. While the Urology Associates of Central Missouri indicates that stones larger than 6 mm rarely pass on their own, the precise location and other factors can influence the outcome. Your current use of Elements Uri flush syrup may help, but it's crucial to consult a urologist for personalized advice and potential treatment options.

Can a 9mm kidney stone be treated with just medication and fluids or is surgery necessary? I've attached my sonography report for reference what would you suggest based on the findings?
Most evidence suggests that stones less than 10 mm in diameter have a reasonable chance of passing through the urinary tract spontaneously. You may be offered medical expulsive therapy (MET) using an alpha blocker medication, such as tamsulosin.
