Question 1

I'm really concerned because I've noticed that my penis seems smaller, and the skin doesn't move back at all. Plus, there are red patches appearing at the tip that seem like an infection. Could you give me some advice on what this might be or how I could treat it?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis*

1. *Phimosis*: A condition where the foreskin is tight and cannot be retracted over the glans penis.
2. *Balanitis*: An inflammation of the glans penis, which can cause red patches, itching, and discharge.
3. *Genital warts or other STIs*: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

*Treatment Advice*

1. *Consult a urologist or dermatologist*: Schedule an appointment with a specialist to confirm the diagnosis and receive personalized treatment.
2. *Topical creams or ointments*: For balanitis, your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, or miconazole.
3. *Antibiotics or antivirals*: If an STI is suspected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics or antivirals to treat the underlying infection.
4. *Circumcision or preputioplasty*: If phimosis is diagnosed, your doctor may recommend circumcision or preputioplasty to loosen the foreskin.
5. *Good genital hygiene*: Practice good genital hygiene by keeping the area clean, avoiding harsh soaps, and wearing loose-fitting clothing.

*Additional Tips*

1. *Avoid self-medication*: Refrain from using over-the-counter creams or ointments without consulting a doctor.
2. *Practice safe sex*: Use condoms to prevent the transmission of STIs.
3. *Follow-up appointments*: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor treatment progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

Question 3

My dad has kidney stones on both sides and I heard berberis vulgaris mother tincture might help. Is it really effective or does he need surgery for this?

Accepted Answer

It helps in diluting the stones and breaks them into small pieces. These very small pieces of kidney stones can then easily pass through the urinary tract without obstruction. In most cases, Berberis Vulgaris does wonders and brings positive results in the condition of kidney stones in a very short period of time.

Is it possible to pass a 6mm kidney stone without needing surgery doc I'm really worried about this and want to know my options

Around 90% of small kidney stones (smaller than 6 mm) and 60% of large stones (larger than 6 mm) pass on their own. If you have a large kidney stone or one that's blocking the flow of pee, you'll need to have a procedure to break up and/or remove it
