I'm really worried because the foreskin on my penis feels super tight. It can move down when my penis isn't erect, but once I get an erection, it just won't retract. When I try to push it back, it feels like it's going to tear because it can't stretch any more. I even tried pulling it down when not erect and then getting an erection with the foreskin already down, but it resulted in pain. What if this condition persists until I'm ready to have sex? Can you guide me on what to do?

Circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare provider. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed, and it is often an effective treatment for severe cases of phimosis. It is important to address this issue before engaging in sexual activity to prevent any potential pain or complications. If you have persistent concerns or the condition does not improve with conservative measures, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My mom just got diagnosed with an 11mm kidney stone. Can this be treated with meds or will she need surgery? If surgery is needed, what kind would they recommend and how does it work?

For a kidney stone 11mm in size, treatment options often involve surgical procedures, as stones larger than 10mm are generally not expected to pass naturally. Common surgical techniques include Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL), Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS, and Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL). Medications can also play a role in managing pain and helping stones pass, but are less likely to be effective for larger stones.

I'm a bit worried because my recent sonography showed a 5 mm stone in the upper part of my left ureter, and it's just 2.1 cm away from the PU junction.
