I've been diagnosed with frenulum breve and one surgeon recommended circumcision while another suggested frenuloplasty I'm really confused about which option is better for my condition. Could you help me understand the pros and cons of each?

Circumcision can also help in treating the tight frenulum. But, not only the frenulum, it removes the entire foreskin of the penis. Therefore, frenuloplasty is the best treatment option for tight frenulum. It does not affect the rest of the foreskin and leaves it intact

I've had undescended testicles since birth, and now only one is in my scrotum. I've never talked about this with anyone, but it's made me worry about my small penis size and whether I can have children. Should I get treatment or surgery for this, or is it not a problem? Also, how much would the treatment cost?

urologist opinion needed.

I recently got an ultrasound done, and it showed that my left kidneys upper calyx is 6.5 cm and the middle calyx is 4 mm. Should I be worried about this causing future problems? Also, I've been taking K Mac B6 syrup for my kidney stones. Could there be any side effects from using this syrup regularly? Would really appreciate some advice.

-It seems like your ultrasound shows a 6.5 cm size in the upper calyx of the left kidney and a 4 mm stone in the middle calyx. While the larger size might need monitoring, the 4 mm stone is small and could pass on its own. K Mac B6 syrup is generally safe

I've been circumcised for about a month now and I'm wondering if it's okay to use aloe vera gel on the wound. Does it help speed up healing or reduce scarring? Or is there a better gel or cream I should consider for a circumcised wound?
