My foreskin covers the glans a bit and I can't fully retract it when I'm erect. Is this something that might need surgery or can it be managed another way?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If your foreskin only covers the glans slightly and you can't retract it fully, it might not need surgery. You could try gentle stretching exercises, or a urologist may recommend steroid creams. Surgery (circumcision) is a last resort if the condition causes pain or recurrent infections.

View allI've had kidney stones for years and now have a large 29 mm stone stuck in my left ureter near the bladder plus two smaller ones in my left kidney. My ultrasound shows mild hydronephrosis too. I've been using homeopathic meds like Berberis and Cantharis but not sure if they're helping. Can alcohol or beer actually help pass these stones or should I consider surgery given the size of the big one? Is medicine alone enough or do I need other treatment options?
Given the size of the kidney stone (29mm) and the presence of hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the best treatment option. While some homeopathic remedies like Berberis and Cantharis might provide some relief, they are unlikely to be sufficient to remove the stone or address the hydronephrosis. Alcohol or beer may not significantly aid stone passage, and could even worsen the pain and discomfort

I'm a bit concerned about whether masturbation affects my calcium levels. I've noticed that after indulging more than 5-6 times a week, I sometimes end up with leg pain. Could this be related somehow? Would love to know your thoughts.

Approximately 10% to 30% of individuals with unilateral undescended testis may experience infertility, with the risk escalating from 35% to 65% or higher for those with bilateral disease. If bilateral cryptorchid testes are left untreated, the infertility rate can exceed 90%.
