I've recently noticed a small red spot on the head of my penis and under the skin that covers it. I was just diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and have started treatment. Should I be worried about these spots? Could they be related to the infection, or is this something separate I should be concerned about?

My mom has an 11.8 mm stone in her pelvicalyceal system. Is surgery the only option or can she try ESWL treatment instead?

ESWL is the safe and effective treatment in the treatment of renal calculus.Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a non invasive procedure used to treat renal calculus, since the process is non invasive,outpatient procedure,short recovery time and lastly low risk of complications like bleeding and infection.ESWL works best for small stones of size 4mm to 2cms in diameter.

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.

My 5th grader has phimosis where the skin almost fully covers the head and won't pull back but he can still pee normally. Is surgery or laser treatment the only option or are there other ways to manage this without going that route?

circumcision is advised.
