I'm dealing with phimosis and a bit of frenulum breve, and it's causing issues during sex. Should I consider circumcision or preputioplasty? What would be the better option for me, and how much would the surgery cost?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Phimosis with frenulum breve may improve with creams and stretching; preputioplasty is less invasive than circumcision and often preferred.

View allI've been dealing with some intense pain in my lower abdomen ever since I was told I have kidney stones a few days ago. The ultrasound showed a 4mm stone, and my doctor prescribed me meftal spas for the pain, but it's not really working for me. The pain is seriously tough to handle. Is there any other way to manage or stop this pain?
If Dolo 650 isn't effective, consider the following options: Consult your doctor before switching medications. You can try Crocin (paracetamol) 650mg or Calpol (paracetamol) 650mg. If your fever is severe, your doctor may prescribe a stronger medication like Combiflam (ibuprofen and paracetamol) or Brufen (ibuprofen). However, always consult your doctor before taking any new medication. Additionally, ensure staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest.

I'm dealing with an 8mm kidney stone in the upper pole and a 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction. Is there any way to treat this without going through surgery, or is surgery my only option?
The 8mm stone in the upper pole kidney and the 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction (VUJ) may be treatable without surgery, depending on symptoms and stone composition; options include Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) to break down the stones, or medical expulsive therapy (MET) with medications like alpha-blockers to help pass the stones naturally; however, consult a urologist to determine the best course of treatment based on your specific situation.
