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?

I have an 8mm left mid pole kidney stone and really want to avoid surgery. Can medicines like potrate mb6 dissolve it or are there other alternatives that might work?

An 8mm kidney stone is quite large to dissolve with medications like Potrate MB6, which mainly help with pain and supporting kidney function but don‚Äôt dissolve stones. Usually, stones over 6mm often require intervention like shock wave lithotripsy or minimally invasive procedures. Please consult a urologist to discuss the best non-surgical or surgical options based on your condition.
