I'm dealing with a phimosis issue that I've had since birth. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Should I consider steroids or is surgery the better option? I'm based in Bangalore, so any local recommendations would be great too. What would you suggest?

Elevated SGOT (120) and SGPT (222) levels indicate liver stress, likely exacerbated by alcohol consumption.

To reduce liver enzyme levels:

Abstain from alcohol completely. Consider medications like:

Silymarin (Livercare) to support liver health. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to reduce liver inflammation.

Consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for personalized guidance and monitoring.

I have an 18mm stone in my renal tube but haven't had any issues for a year can it be treated with just medicine or is surgery necessary? How safe is surgery and what would you recommend in my case?

Kidney stones should be removed by surgery if they cause repeated infections in the urine or because they are blocking the flow of urine from the kidney. Today, surgery usually involves small or no incisions (cuts), minor pain and minimal time off work.

I'm dealing with this phimosis situation, and Im not sure what the best ways to address it are. Things feel pretty tight down there, and I'm a bit concerned about it.

Phimosis can be managed with various treatments; possible solutions include topical steroid creams or ointments to reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin, manual stretching exercises under medical guidance, preputioplasty (a surgical procedure to widen the foreskin), or circumcision (a surgical procedure to remove the foreskin); consult a urologist or a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment.
