Yes, there are non-surgical treatments for phimosis, including topical steroid creams and gentle stretching exercises. These can help reduce inflammation, improve elasticity, and make the foreskin easier to retract.

I'm 19 and dealing with scrotal calcinosis there are about 34 medium-sized cysts and a few new ones starting to form. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? I'm really worried about it getting worse.

While scrotal calcinosis is a condition that may require surgery for definitive treatment, especially when cosmetic concerns arise, there are some alternative approaches that may be considered before surgery. These include observation, laser therapy, and cryotherapy, depending on the severity and location of the calcinosis.

My dad is 70 and has been struggling with frequent urine leaks and trouble controlling his urge to urinate. He also has severe knee pain, which limits his movement, and is scheduled for knee surgery soon. His limited mobility is making the urination issue even harder to manage. What can we do to help control his incontinence until his knee gets better?
