Question 1

I'm experiencing some discoloration on the top part of my glans after being treated for secondary phimosis with a cream from a dermatologist. Theres no pain or irritation, but the doctor mentioned it could be LSABXO and might not be treatable. Is there any way to treat this discoloration, and if it's not treated, what could happen? Also, I've noticed I can keep the foreskin retracted without feeling any tightness. Is it okay to do this auto-circumcision all the time?

Accepted Answer

Discoloration Treatment and Potential Complications

    - Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.
    - Topical immunomodulators to modulate the immune response.
    - Phototherapy, such as narrowband UVB, to stimulate repigmentation.
2. Potential complications: If left untreated, the discoloration may:
    - Persist or worsen over time.

Question 2

I've been dealing with a dry mouth and a burning sensation when I urinate since I started taking eptoin for a stroke I had a few months ago. I'm also diabetic, so Im not sure if it's a side effect of the medication or related to my sugar levels. Should I be concerned about these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

It seems that the dry mouth and burning micturition youre experiencing could be related to either your Eptoin medication or your diabetes. While these can be side effects of Eptoin, they could also be exacerbated by high blood sugar or a UTI. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider to review these symptoms and make adjustments to your treatment plan as necessary. Regular monitoring of your blood sugar and maintaining hydration can help manage some of these symptoms as well.

Question 3

I'm really worried about a mild dilatation in the left pelvicalyceal system and a dilated proximal ureter because of a mid-ureteric calculus that's about 3.6 mm. How serious is this? Should I be concerned about potential complications, or does it usually resolve on its own? What steps should I take next in terms of treatment or management?
