My foreskin pulls back fine when soft but doesn't go all the way down when I'm erect. A urologist recommended frenuloplasty but I'm wondering if this can get better without surgery. Is there any way to fix this naturally over time?

It's possible your foreskin tightness could improve without surgery, particularly if it's a mild case or if you're young. Gentle daily retraction exercises, along with topical steroid creams, can sometimes help loosen the foreskin and improve its ability to retract, especially when you're erect. However, if these non-surgical methods don't work, frenuloplasty (surgery to release the frenulum) may be recommended

I have a 19mm stone in my right kidney but the measurements say 18.89.213.7mm. Can you clarify if it's actually 19mm or 13.7mm? Is there any way to shrink or dissolve this stone with medication alone, or will I definitely need surgery?
