My foreskin doesn't retract like it should it's not super tight but still won't go back. I'd rather avoid surgery are there any medications or treatments that could help with this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If your foreskin isn't fully retracting and you'd like to avoid surgery, a topical steroid cream or ointment is often recommended. These medications can help soften and loosen the foreskin, making retraction easier. In some cases, gentle stretching exercises can also be beneficial.

I've been having this weird ticklish sensation at the bottom of my vagina right when I'm finishing up peeing, and I've noticed my pee's been looking translucent lately. I'm also having trouble holding it inlike, when I have to go, I really have to go, even waking up from sleep. What's going on with me?

I have a grade 1 varicocele on the left side do I really need surgery for this or are there other treatment options I can try first
A Grade 1 varicocele often doesn't require surgery, especially if it's not causing pain or other significant issues. Surgery might be considered if there are complications like reduced testicular function or infertility concerns. There are several other treatment options, including lifestyle adjustments and medications to manage pain and swelling
