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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Phimosis can be treated with steroid creams like betamethasone plus stretching; if no improvement in weeks, circumcision is safest permanent option.

View allI'm familiar with the Vigora tablet and what it's for, but I've never tried the Vigora jelly. Can you tell me how it works and how I should use it? When's the best time to take it before having sex, and what's the right way to use it?
Vigora jelly is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It contains sildenafil citrate, which helps increase blood flow to the penis. To use it, you can squeeze the contents of one sachet onto a spoon and swallow it approximately 15-30 minutes before sexual activity. It is recommended to take it on an empty stomach for best results. The effects can last for up to 4-6 hours. Remember to not take more than one sachet in a 24-hour period.

My foreskin is really tight and I can't pull it back all the way. I don't want surgery are there any creams or ointments that can help loosen it quickly?
Yes, certain creams and ointments, often containing steroids, can help loosen a tight foreskin (phimosis) and make it easier to retract without surgery. Topical steroids like betamethasone valerate, fluticasone propionate, hydrocortisone, or triamcinolone can soften and loosen the skin. These creams are often used in conjunction with gentle stretching exercises

I've been diagnosed with a 10mm ureteral stone stuck at the EVJ and the pain is really bad. My family has a history of uric acid stones, so chances are this is one too. Can homeopathic medicines help me avoid surgery, or would lithotripsy be an option if they don't work? I'm worried about needing an operation.
Homeopathy to some extent works in certain patients.Medical therapy initially works , to relieve pain obstruction and control of infection .Gold standard of treatment is Shock wave lithotripsy and uretroscopy is the best approachalso ESWL(extracorporeal shock wave lithrotropsy is advised.
