I'm dealing with a condition called balanitis, and it's been going on for quite a while now. Could you suggest any creams or tablets that might help?

Hi there i understand your concern regarding your genital health...The main cause of balanitis is poor hygiene. Poor hygiene causes harmful bacteria to overpopulate the area, which can lead to infection...it can be fungal as well... Clinical examination is necessary to diagnose it and to rule out other possible conditions....you may require antibiotic or antifungal creams..Before applying any treatment option, it is important to avoid using irritants such as perfumed soap, lotion, or powder. This prevents further irritation of the foreskin...Consult nearest dermatologist they will do the needful.

My foreskin feels really tight when I get an erection and it's causing discomfort. I don't have issues when I'm not erect, but during arousal, it gets too tight. Is there any way to fix this without surgery? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible.

I've got a 4 mm kidney stone and there's some mild swelling on my left ureter. The pain and vomiting I'm experiencing are really concerning me. Could you advise on how serious this is and what steps I should take to manage it?
You are experiencing symptoms of kidney stones with associated complications. To help with the pain and promote the passage of the stone, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen. It is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe tamsulosin to help relax the muscles in the ureter and facilitate the passage of the stone. If the pain is severe, stronger pain medications such as ketorolac may be prescribed. In cases of persistent vomiting, antiemetic medications like ondansetron can be helpful. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for each medication.
