I'm having this issue where it's really itchy inside my penis, and it's happening pretty often. I'm married, so I'm not sure what it might be. Should I see a doctor? And if I do, what exactly should I tell them about what's going on? Any ideas on what could help with this would be great.

Yes, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the cause of the itching inside your penis, which could be due to a fungal or bacterial infection, allergy, or skin condition; be honest with your doctor, sharing details about the itching, such as when it started, frequency, and any other symptoms like discharge, redness, or pain; your doctor may perform a physical examination, take a sample for testing, and prescribe treatment, which could include antifungal or antibacterial medications, creams, or ointments.

View allI have left reanal hydronephrosis with a 7mm ureteric calculus in the lower part and a small 3mm concretion in the lower calyx of my left kidney should I consider medicine or is surgery the better option here
Given the size of the ureteric calculus (7mm) and the presence of hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the better option for your situation. While a 3mm concretion in the lower calyx may be managed medically, the 7mm stone in the ureter and the associated hydronephrosis suggest a need for more definitive treatment.

Can kidney stones this size be treated without surgery? I have an 8mm stone in the lower pole of my left kidney and a 6.4mm one in the mid pole of my right kidney. What are my options besides surgery?
For an 8mm stone in the lower pole of your kidney, surgery is often recommended due to its size and location. Stones larger than 7-8mm in the lower pole are less likely to pass on their own and may require treatment such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) or ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy.5

Is there a way to treat phimosis without going through surgery I've heard about stretching exercises and creams but not sure if they actually work or how to do them safely
Yes, there are non-surgical methods for treating phimosis, including stretching exercises and topical steroid creams. Stretching exercises can help to gradually loosen the foreskin, while topical steroid creams can help reduce inflammation and make the foreskin easier to retract
