I've been dealing with this really stubborn balanitis on the head of my penis for over a month now, and it's just not improving. I've already been to my doctor twice. First, they gave me fluconazole, and the second time, some antifungal cream along with hydrocortisone ointment. Neither treatment has worked. What could be the reason my balanitis isn't clearing up? Should antibiotics be considered in this situation?

View allI've been diagnosed with phimosis and I'm not sure what to do should I consider laser surgery or are there natural treatments that might work? I'm a bit worried about the risks and recovery time with surgery but also want something effective
For phimosis, non-surgical treatments like steroid creams and stretching exercises are often tried first. If these aren't effective, surgical options like circumcision or preputioplasty might be considered. Laser circumcision offers a minimally invasive surgical alternative with potential benefits like faster healing

I'm wondering how soon I can have sex now that my kidney stent has been removed. I had a ureteroscopy and laser surgery on May 11, 2017, to take out a stone from my kidney, and they left a stent in for two weeks. It was just removed yesterday, and my urine is mostly clear now, with just a bit of blood. Can you advise me on whether it's safe to resume sexual activity and if there are any precautions I should take?
After the removal of your kidney stent, its generally safe to resume sexual activity once any discomfort or bleeding has subsided and you're feeling comfortable. However, it's important to listen to your bodyif there's still slight bleeding or discomfort, its best to wait a few more days. Always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

Coblation adenoidectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to remove enlarged adenoids. Here's how it differs from traditional surgery: _Traditional Adenoidectomy_ 1. _Removal of adenoids_: Adenoids are completely removed using a curette or suction cautery. 2. _More invasive_: Requires more tissue disruption and bleeding. _Coblation Adenoidectomy_ 1. _Partial removal of adenoids_: Only the obstructive portion of the adenoids is removed. 2. _Less invasive_: Uses a coblation wand to dissolve and remove adenoid tissue, reducing bleeding and tissue damage. 3. _Faster recovery_: Typically results in less post-operative pain and faster recovery. _Benefits of Coblation Technique_ 1. _Reduced bleeding_: Coblation technique reduces bleeding and promotes faster healing. 2. _Less post-operative pain_: Coblation adenoidectomy typically results in less pain and discomfort. 3. _Shorter hospital stay_: Patients often require a shorter hospital stay. _Potential Side Effects of Coblation Technique_ 1. _Temporary voice changes_: Some patients may experience temporary voice changes or nasal regurgitation. 2. _Nasal bleeding_: Rarely, patients may experience nasal bleeding or infection.
