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

View allWhat's the best way to treat balanitis? I've been dealing with these scars on my foreskin that keep coming back every few days. I started using a fungal cream that my doctor recommended, but it's been about 15 days and I'm not seeing an improvement. What should I do?
Varicocele can be uncomfortable. _Masturbation and varicocele:_ Masturbation is unlikely to worsen varicocele directly. However, frequent or vigorous masturbation can increase blood flow to the genital area, potentially exacerbating varicocele discomfort. _Safe interval for masturbation:_ There's no specific recommended interval for masturbation in relation to varicocele. However, consider the following: 1. _Listen to your body_: If you experience increased discomfort or pain after masturbation, consider reducing the frequency or intensity. 2. _Moderation is key_: Masturbating 1-2 times a week is unlikely to have a significant impact on varicocele. 3. _Focus on overall health_: Prioritize a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management, to help alleviate varicocele symptoms. _Varicocele management:_ 1. _Consult a urologist_: Get a proper diagnosis and discuss treatment options with a urologist. 2. _Lifestyle modifications_: Make changes to your daily routine, such as wearing supportive underwear, avoiding heavy lifting, and managing stress. 3. _Surgery or embolization_: In some cases, surgery or embolization may be necessary to treat varicocele. Remember to consult a urologist for personalized advice on managing your varicocele.

My ultrasound report shows a 6mm calculus in the right lower ureter, about 1 cm from the UVJ. Do I really need laparoscopic surgery for this or are there other options? I'm a bit worried about the procedure and wondering if it's absolutely necessary.
A 6mm ureteric stone close to UVJ usually passes with meds—surgery is for pain, infection, or if not passed in 2–4 weeks.
