My doctor found a 12 mm stone in my bladder and recommended laser lithotripsy. I'm a bit nervous about surgery are there any other treatment options I could try first?

View allI'm 23 years old and I've noticed that my foreskin is attached to the tip of my penis, and it's painful when I try to pull it back. I'm really anxious about getting a circumcision, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to detach the foreskin. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Phimosis refers to the inability to retract the distal foreskin over the glans penis. Pathologic phimosis defines an inability to retract the foreskin after it was previously retractible or after puberty, usually secondary to distal scarring of the foreskin. Paraphimosis is the entrapment of a retracted foreskin behind the coronal sulcus. Paraphimosis is a disease of uncircumcised or partially circumcised males....Up to 95% of cases of phimosis have been shown to respond to application of topical steroids to the preputial orifice, although some studies have suggested that this response rate may decline several months after the regimen is completed. An initial attempt at medical intervention has been shown to reduce costs by 27.3% in comparison with primary circumcision as a treatment...consult nearest urologist they will help you further

My wife has stones one in her kidney and another in her gallbladder. She keeps getting pain on the right side of her stomach every few weeks. The doctor recommended surgery, but is there any way to treat this without an operation? What can we do when the pain flares up? Would homeopathy be a good option for her?
surgery is advised to the patient.

I've got a sore red spot on the head of my penis, and I can mostly see it when I pull the foreskin back. I've been using a ring guard, but it's healing really slowly. Any suggestions on what medicine I can use to speed up the healing? I'm starting to worry a bit.
