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 have phimosis and really don't want to get surgery or a circumcision are there any other treatment options that could help me without going under the knife?

Yes, phimosis can often be treated without surgery. Non-surgical options include topical steroid creams to reduce inflammation and improve foreskin elasticity, manual stretching exercises to gradually loosen the foreskin, and, if an infection is present, antibiotics or antifungal creams

My dad just had an ultrasound done, and they found an 11 mm stone in his right kidney. He's not feeling any pain or discomfort right now. Should we be considering surgery, or are there medications that might help with this? What do you think?

11mm is a big stone. It is unlikely to pass on its own. Better to get it removed

I've been having some weird experiences at night. A few days ago, I just woke up out of nowhere feeling like I couldn't catch my breath. It's not like anything I could control, you know? Plus, I've noticed that I'm needing to get up and pee a lot during the night, and sometimes my back starts to hurt. Do you think all these things could be connected or something?

it might be due to anxiety,reduce your stress
