I'm 28, married, and dealing with phimosis where my tight foreskin makes sex painful and affects my performance. Are there any treatments to loosen the skin without surgery?

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.

My recent USG showed an enlarged prostate at 75cc along with fatty liver and cholelithiasis. I might need surgery any idea about the cost and recommendations for a good hospital?

The USG findings of an enlarged prostate at 75cc, along with fatty liver and cholelithiasis (gallstones), indicate multiple health concerns. The enlarged prostate, specifically benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is common in older men and can cause urinary issues. Fatty liver, also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is often linked to metabolic issues and can progress to more serious liver problems if not addressed. Cholelithiasis, or gallstones, can cause pain and digestive issues and may require medical intervention. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and management plan for all three conditions

I'm having trouble with my foreskin not being able to open or stretch properly. Are there any creams or gels available in India that can help with this? I really want to avoid having surgery. Any advice would be appreciated.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is tight. There are non-surgical options, such as steroid creams (like betamethasone), which can help stretch the foreskin. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before using any treatment to ensure it's suitable for you.
