I've been dealing with this issue where my foreskin sticks to the glans, and I've noticed there's some whiteness on the glans too. The skin doesn't retract when I have an erection. It used to not retract at all, but I've been gently trying to retract it in warm water, and now it retracts a bit more, but only up to about 25. I really want to avoid circumcision if there's another solution, even if it takes a while. Are there any topical creams or treatments you could recommend?

Possible Causes of Enlarged Spleen (Splenomegaly)_

Infections: Bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections, such as mononucleosis, malaria, or tuberculosis, can cause splenomegaly.

Liver diseases: Liver conditions like cirrhosis, liver cancer, or fatty liver disease can lead to splenomegaly.

Blood disorders: Blood-related conditions, such as lymphoma, leukemia, or anemia, can cause an enlarged spleen.

Other causes: Splenomegaly can also be caused by rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or other autoimmune disorders.

Does Fatty Liver Cause Enlarged Spleen?

Indirect relationship: Fatty liver disease can contribute to splenomegaly indirectly by increasing pressure in the liver and spleen.

Common underlying causes: Both fatty liver and splenomegaly can be caused by similar underlying factors, such as obesity, diabetes, or high blood pressure.

Treatment Options

Address underlying causes: Treat underlying conditions, such as infections, liver diseases, or blood disorders, to help reduce spleen enlargement.

Medications: Depending on the underlying cause, medications like antibiotics, antivirals, or immunosuppressants may be prescribed.

Lifestyle modifications: Adopt a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, to help manage underlying conditions.

I've had varicocele surgery and I'm worried about long-term effects could it cause erection problems or other issues down the line? What should I expect after recovery?

Varicocele surgery can improve sexual function and reduce the risk of infertility, but it doesn't guarantee perfect recovery. While some men experience improved erectile function after surgery, others may still struggle with erectile dysfunction, according to research cited by Cleveland Clinic. After surgery, you should expect a period of recovery, potentially including pain, swelling, and bruising, which typically resolves within a few weeks

Ive got these three kidney stones, around 10mm each, and Im a bit worried about them. One has already moved into my bladder and looks like the other two are on their way. Im on alfuzosin and drinking enough fluids, which seems to help with urination. Im curious to know when and how these stones will pass through. Could you provide some insights? Im reaching out from India.

that can't be predicted but for sure it will pass out in urine

I've been struggling with phimosis where I can't pull back the skin during an erection. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment that can help with this? Can it be fixed without needing surgery?

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin can't be pulled back from the head of the penis. It's normal in babies and small children, and they usually grow out of it. It can also be caused by infections, scar tissue, and skin diseases, and may need to be treated with steroid cream or surgery
