My dad has kidney stones on both sides and I heard berberis vulgaris mother tincture might help. Is it really effective or does he need surgery for this?

It helps in diluting the stones and breaks them into small pieces. These very small pieces of kidney stones can then easily pass through the urinary tract without obstruction. In most cases, Berberis Vulgaris does wonders and brings positive results in the condition of kidney stones in a very short period of time.

Every time I have sex with my wife, I end up with cuts on my foreskin. It's the same problem after I masturbate too. It's really painful, and the itching while they heal is driving me crazy. Could you recommend a cream or ointment that'll help with this?

You may be experiencing some irritation or friction during sexual activity leading to cuts on your foreskin. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. Apply a thin layer of the ointment on the cuts twice a day after gently cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can also use a soothing cream like Aloe Vera gel to help with the healing process and reduce itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed some small white lumps in my semen when I ejaculate after masturbating. Can anyone help me figure out what might be going on?

These small lumps you are noticing in your semen could be due to a few different reasons. One possibility is that they are sperm clumps, which can be normal and not a cause for concern. However, if these lumps are accompanied by pain, swelling, or changes in your semen consistency, it could be a sign of an underlying issue such as an infection or inflammation of the prostate or seminal vesicles. I recommend you to consult a doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.
