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'm dealing with premature ejaculation and it's really bothering me. Do you have any advice on how I can overcome this issue? I'm looking for effective suggestions or treatments.

Premature ejaculation can be addressed through a combination of lifestyle changes, therapy, and sometimes medication. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider or a urologist, who can evaluate your situation and suggest treatments such as behavioral techniques, counseling, or medications to help manage this condition effectively.

I have an 11mm stone in my left kidney and my doctors recommended RIRS laser surgery but I'm wondering if lithotripsy could work instead for my case

Surgery is advised to the patient since the stone size is larger .Since stone size is 11mm if untreated may lead to complications like abdominal pain,backpain and infection etc.
