If your foreskin is tight and difficult to retract, a steroid cream may help. Topical steroid creams, like those containing betamethasone, hydrocortisone, or triamcinolone, can reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. Applying the cream regularly as directed by a doctor, along with gentle stretching exercises, can improve retraction

I am diagnosed with high bladder Neck or primary bladder outlet obstruction. I didnt knew about this my urine flow is weak from childhood only. Now what are the ayurvedic treatment options available for this disease. As surgery cannot be done or suggestable at this age

Alpha-blocker drug therapy is usually the first step in treating bladder neck obstruction. Alpha-blockers, such as tamsulosin or alfuzosin, can help to relax the bladder muscles. A second type of medication, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, may also be prescribed to treat bladder neck obstruction.
