In severe cases of paraphimosis, circumcision may be recommended. In very severe cases, a lack of blood flow to the penis can cause tissue death (gangrene) and you may need surgery to remove the penis.

I have multiple stones up to 6.7 mm in size do I need to take medication or is surgery necessary? Looking for advice from a gastroenterology specialist on the best way to handle this

For multiple kidney stones up to 6.7 mm, a gastroenterologist (who deals primarily with the digestive system) may not be the most appropriate specialist. Urologists, who specialize in the urinary system, are better equipped to manage kidney stones. While medication can sometimes help smaller stones pass on their own, larger stones like yours may require more intervention, potentially including procedures like lithotripsy or ureteroscopy.
