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

View allI'm really worried because my sperm count has dropped and my penis feels weak. I used to be addicted to drugs but I've stopped now, and I'm not seeing any improvement. What should I do to get my reproductive health back on track?
Congratulations on quitting drugs, a crucial step towards recovery; to address low sperm count and penis weakness, consider consulting a urologist or an andrologist for personalized guidance, and in the meantime, adopt a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, exercising regularly, managing stress, and getting enough sleep, as these changes can help improve fertility and overall sexual health.

How can I permanently retract my foreskin without surgery because I find it unhygienic and prefer it to stay open? Are there safe non-surgical methods to keep the foreskin pulled back?
Foreskin retraction permanently can be aided by stretching exercises and steroid application daily;circumcision only needed if it fails after diligent therapy.

I have a 6mm kidney stone and my CT scan shows it's 10mm in another part do I really need surgery or are there other options to pass it naturally
A 6mm kidney stone and a larger 10mm stone likely won't pass naturally and will require medical intervention. Surgery is generally not the first choice for 6mm stones, but it's often considered for stones of 10mm or larger, or if a smaller stone gets stuck and causes complications. Other options like medication, lithotripsy (shock wave therapy), or a procedure called ureteroscopy might be used before surgery, especially for smaller stones
