I've been diagnosed with phimosis and need surgery soon which option is safer and better, laser or ZSR? I'm really worried and want to make the right choice quickly.

Laser circumcision is actually the permanent solution for phimosis. So, if your doctor recommends you undergoing laser circumcision or stapler circumcision, be assured that it is the safest procedure and inflicts minimal pain

View allI've been dealing with erectile dysfunction for the past 4 years and I'm not sure what to do next. What tests should I get to figure out the cause? Also, I'm confused about treatment options would allopathic medicine, ayurvedic therapy, or surgery work better for my situation?
For erectile dysfunction, tests like testosterone levels, penile Doppler, and blood sugar are helpful. Allopathic treatments like PDE5 inhibitors are most effective; Ayurveda may support, but surgery is rare and used only in severe cases.

I've had a kidney stone for the past 7 years and recent USG shows CKD stage 1. Do I really need surgery for the stone even though I don't have sugar or blood pressure issues? Also could my menstruation problems be related to these kidney issues?
Patient is advised for surgery,since the stone is large enough to cause abdomen pain and back ache.Nephrologist opinion is advised to the patient for further management.

The USG scan showed a 5.2 mm kidney stone in my left kidney with slight hydroureteronephrosis and I've been having terrible pain. The doctor prescribed antibiotics but I'm worried can this stone pass on its own with just medication or will I need surgery?
A 5.2 mm kidney stone with hydroureteronephrosis may pass spontaneously but due to pain and obstruction signs, medical and sometimes surgical help is needed.
