I've been dealing with a balanitis infection that started a few days ago, and I'm really concerned. I came across Fourderm cream and started using it, but I'm not sure if it's effective for this condition. Can you tell me if this cream is actually helpful for treating balanitis, or if there's something else I should be doing?

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.
