I've had phimosis since I was born and I'm really worried about it. Is there any way to treat it without going through surgery? I'm not sure what options are out there and I'd like to avoid an operation if possible. Can you suggest any non-surgical treatments that actually work?

Phimosis can be treated with steroid creams like betamethasone plus stretching; if no improvement in weeks, circumcision is safest permanent option.

View allI'm a 38-year-old guy just diagnosed with kidney stones and the doctors say the stone is too big to pass on its own so they're recommending surgery with a stent Can you explain how the stent actually helps with stone removal and what kind of side effects I might expect from having it put in
Stent improves obstruction in the passage of urine and by passive dilatation of kidney tubes (ureter) passing to bladder ,may help in stone retrieval

I'm experiencing this dragging sensation on the left side of my testicle and the color Doppler test showed I have a grade IV extra testicular varicocele on that side. My doctor mentioned surgery as the only solution, but I'm wondering if there might be any other treatments available. Could you offer some advice or alternatives?
While surgery is often recommended for high-grade varicoceles like Grade IV, alternative treatments may include embolization, a minimally invasive procedure to block blood flow to the varicocele, or sclerotherapy, injecting a solution to shrink the varicocele; however, consult your doctor or a urologist to discuss these options and determine the best course of treatment for your specific case.

How many times should a person urinate per day?
Most people urinate between six and eight times a day. But if you're drinking plenty, it's not abnormal to go as many as 10 times a day.
