I'm experiencing a sharp pain at the tip of my penis and some irritation on the foreskin. Can you recommend any general painkillers I can use until I see the doctor on Monday?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It sounds like you may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in the foreskin, which can cause discomfort. For temporary relief, you can take over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen, but make sure to follow the recommended dosage. Its best to keep the area clean and avoid any irritants until you can see the doctor on Monday.

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.

Are there any home remedies or treatments that can help with this issue? Im really curious to know what I can do.

Right testicle isn't descended according to the sonography report - should we be worried about this? Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments we can try first? My main concern is whether this could cause problems later if left untreated
If the testicles don't descend by 6 months, it's very unlikely they will without treatment. In this case, a surgical procedure called an orchidopexy will be recommended to reposition one or both testicles. The operation should ideally be carried out before your child's 12 months old.
