I've had bxo for about 15 days now and I'm really worried. Can you tell me what treatment options are available? Is this condition curable or will I need surgery?

Your symptoms can be relieved by the use of steroid creams or ointments. Bland moisturisers help to soften and protect the skin. In men, tightening of the foreskin will often respond to steroid ointments; if not, a circumcision may be worth considering. In children, circumcision is usually required

I'm dealing with herpes, and my doctor confirmed it's affecting my penis. A couple of months ago, I had Bell's palsy. I'm worriedcan herpes come back, and which type might this be? Can anyone provide some guidance?

It sounds like you're dealing with a couple of challenging conditions. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause outbreaks in various areas, including the genital region. As for Bell's palsy, while it's typically a one-time occurrence, some people may experience it again, but the risk is low. I recommend following your doctor's guidance on managing both conditions and staying informed about any recurrence signs.

My wife has a 14mm kidney stone should we consider surgery or can medicine dissolve it? What's the best way to handle this?

For a 14mm kidney stone, surgical intervention is typically recommended as the first-line treatment. While medications can help manage pain and aid in passing smaller stones, they cannot dissolve 14mm stones. Surgery, along with other options like lithotripsy, are more effective for larger stones.

I've been dealing with this issue and could really use some guidance. In my younger days, I masturbated a lot, often without lubricant or sometimes using soap. Now, the head of my penis is really dry, and if I dont put on moisturizer twice a day, it ends up burning a lot. What can I do about this? Is there something else I should be using or looking into?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
