I'm having trouble with my foreskin not being able to open or stretch properly. Are there any creams or gels available in India that can help with this? I really want to avoid having surgery. Any advice would be appreciated.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is tight. There are non-surgical options, such as steroid creams (like betamethasone), which can help stretch the foreskin. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before using any treatment to ensure it's suitable for you.

View allI've had a hernia on the left side of my groin for a while, and recently noticed my spermatocele in the upper scrotum has gotten bigger. The hernia has been a bit painful the last few days, and the spermatocele seems to have grown around the same time. Could the hernia be causing the spermatocele to increase in size? If I get hernia surgery, will that help with the spermatocele too? Are there any non-surgical treatments for spermatocele that might help?
Apollo is best for it.

How long does a urinary tract infection take to show up?
The incubation period (time of exposure to time symptoms begin) varies with the microbe. In general, common urinary tract infections with colonizing bacteria, like E. coli, varies from about three to eight days.

I am 23 years old. can phimosis be correctedtreated without a surgery thank you. if yesno then please elaborate.
Yes, phimosis can often be treated without surgery, especially in mild to moderate cases. Non-surgical options include steroid creams and gentle stretching techniques. In some cases, more aggressive dilations using a balloon dilator might be needed. If these methods fail or the phimosis is severe, surgery (circumcision) may be recommended.
