I've been dealing with prostate swelling for the past 7 years and I'm only 33. Been taking Flotral 10 mg daily but really want to find a way to manage this without surgery. Are there other treatment options or lifestyle changes that could help reduce the swelling long-term?

While you're already taking Flotral (alfuzosin), there are other options and lifestyle changes to consider for long-term prostate swelling management without surgery. Focusing on diet, exercise, and specific habits can significantly reduce symptoms and potentially the need for more invasive procedures.

View allI've been having this issue where I was masturbating and it got a bit rough, and now I think I might've pulled a vein or something. Its been a month and whenever I get an erection or need to pee, I feel a bit of pain. It feels like it's getting worse since I havent really stopped having sex or masturbating since it started. Can you recommend any ointment or something that might help relax my veins and speed up recovery?

I'm 20 and I've been having some trouble with my foreskin being too tight. It's gotten to the point where I can't have intercourse because of it. I'm really worried and wondering what I can do to help pull it back fully. What's the best way to deal with this issue?

I've noticed that a year ago, my right kidney was measured at 10cm during an abdominal ultrasound. I recently had another scan done at a different diagnostic center, and they measured my right kidney at 9.1cm. Should I be worried about this change in size, even though everything else seems normal with no issues reported? What do you think?
Phimosis can be uncomfortable and affect your quality of life. While surgery is often recommended, there are some non-surgical methods you can try to help manage your symptoms: *Non-Surgical Methods* 1. *Stretching exercises*: Gently stretch your foreskin over a period of time to help loosen it. You can try using a lubricant to reduce friction. 2. *Topical creams*: Apply topical creams or ointments containing steroids, such as betamethasone, to help reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. 3. *Bath therapy*: Soak in a warm bath for 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a week, to help relax the foreskin and make it more pliable. 4. *Manual manipulation*: Gently manipulate your foreskin under the guidance of a healthcare professional to help loosen it. *Precautions* 1. *Avoid forceful retraction*: Don't force your foreskin to retract, as this can cause injury, bleeding, or scarring. 2. *Monitor for infection*: Watch for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or discharge. 3. *Consult a doctor*: If you experience any severe symptoms or if your symptoms worsen, consult a doctor for guidance. *When to Consider Surgery* 1. *Severe symptoms*: If you experience severe pain, difficulty urinating, or recurrent infections. 2. *Failed non-surgical methods*: If you've tried non-surgical methods without success. 3. *Complications*: If you develop complications, such as paraphimosis (foreskin trapped behind the glans), seek immediate medical attention.
