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.

View allI'm having a bit of a problem where my frenulum seems too short, making my foreskin really tight and painful when I try to pull it back over the head. I'm wondering, is frenuloplasty my only option here? Also, how much does that kind of surgery typically cost?
A short frenulum, known as frenulum breve, can cause discomfort and tightness when retracting the foreskin. **Frenuloplasty** is a common procedure to correct this by lengthening the frenulum. While it is an effective option, non-surgical treatments like topical steroids may also help in some cases. The cost of frenuloplasty can vary, typically ranging from $500 to $2,000, depending on the healthcare provider and location.

My doctor prescribed me Drosis XT deflazacort 30mg and tamsulosin 0.4mg twice a day for 10 days along with other meds for kidney stones. Is taking 30mg of steroid twice a day safe for kidney stones? Are steroids usually given for this issue? Will the stones not pass without steroids?
