Question 1

I've heard that the foreskin should roll back completely, but mine doesnt quite do that. The front part rolls back, but the back seems to stay attached to my penis. How can I get it to roll back completely and expose the red part?

Accepted Answer

The issue you're describing is related to a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is partially or completely unable to retract over the glans penis; to address this, gently stretch the foreskin over time through manual retraction, using lubricants to reduce friction, and consider consulting a urologist or healthcare professional for guidance on proper technique and potential treatment options, such as topical creams or, in severe cases, circumcision.

Question 2

I have a 15mm stone in my right kidney but no abdominal pain. Can it be treated without surgery or is surgery the only option?

Accepted Answer

A 15 mm kidney stone may need lithotripsy or surgery if not passing‚Äîmonitor and decide based on symptoms.

Question 3

I've had tight foreskin since I was a kid and thought it would loosen over time if I kept pulling it back, but now I'm 25 and it's still really tight. There's only about a 34mm opening to pee through, and I get this white stuff building up that causes itching. I'm worried surgery might remove the whole foreskin are there other options that can fix this without taking it all off?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are non-surgical options to address phimosis (tight foreskin) in addition to circumcision. You can try stretching exercises, using topical steroid creams, and practicing good hygiene to potentially loosen the foreskin and alleviate the symptoms you've described. If those methods are not effective, there are also surgical options that can address the problem without necessarily removing the entire foreskin

I'm a bit concerned about my urine test results which show pus cells at 34 hpf. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it just normal?

If you don't have any lower abdominal pain, burning sensation during micturation, nausea and fever, then this reading can be considered normal as these numbers are not significant until you have symptoms associated with it but the report is generally normal.
