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.

I'm a bit worried about some results I got from an ultrasound. It mentioned something called hydronephrosis on the right side, but it says the corticomedullary differentiation is okay on both sides. It also notes that the cortical parenchymal thickness is normal. There's a small calculus, like 9 mm, in the lower part of my left kidney. I'm not really sure what all this means. Should I be concerned about the hydronephrosis or the stone? Could this lead to something serious?

That Hydronephrosis could be due to Renal calculus and 9mm stone is significant and needs surgery,visit Urologist for appropriate management and also consume more water

I've had a 12mm kidney stone that showed up on a CT scan on 8417, and although I didn't have issues with it at first, I've been dealing with constant back pain for the past three days, especially after eating or drinking anything. I thought it might be muscle pain and took ibuprofen, but that only made things worse. Last week, I felt nauseous and vomited for three days straight, and while I haven't vomited since 9617, the nausea is still hanging around. I'm starting to worry and wonder if it's time to see a doctor or head to the ER. Is the ER the best choice in my situation?

Patient may require surgery since the stone size is 12mm, surgery opinion for further management.

I've been noticing that I get a cut on the upper skin of my penis every time I have sex or masturbate. It's just at the tip and sometimes it itches with a small drop of blood showing up. I've tried so many ointments but nothing seems to work. I'm 45 and this whole situation is really affecting my sex life. Can you please help me figure out what might be going on?

That needs evaluation and physical examinantion,visit surgeon for the same and appropriate management
