my foreskin is really tight at the tip and it's causing discomfort is there any treatment for phimosis other than surgery what options do i have
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin can't be pulled back from the head of the penis. It's normal in babies and small children, and they usually grow out of it. It can also be caused by infections, scar tissue, and skin diseases, and may need to be treated with steroid cream or surgery

View allI've been having some issues with my penis lately and I'm not sure what's going on. It started with itching, redness, and a rash, and although these symptoms go away after a few days, I've noticed that my foreskin seems to be shrinking. I'm uncircumcised and have never talked to a doctor about it. I wash it every day, but there's always some dry skin forming around the foreskin that I have to clean off. These cuts and cracks started this year, and at first, they'd just appear after sex and then get better on their own, but now it's happening more frequently and it's painful. I'm married and have been since 2017, so this is all pretty new to me. Could you suggest what kind of doctor I should consult? Should I be doing anything specific about this dry skin? Are there any home remedies for these painful cuts and cracks? I'm really worried about it.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis. This can be caused by various factors such as poor hygiene, infections, or skin conditions. To help with the redness, rash, cuts, and cracks, you can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole twice a day after washing the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, keeping the area dry and applying a thin layer of petroleum jelly can help with the dry skin formation. Make sure to wash off the dry skin gently during your daily hygiene routine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I just got my USG lab report and need some advice on what to do next. Should I consider gallbladder surgery or are there other treatment options I should try first? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife and want to know if it's really necessary

I've got a 5.5mm stone in my left kidney and I'm wondering if it's okay to take Urimax and Neeri tablets together. Will this help get rid of the stone?
Yes, you can take Urimax and Neeri tablets together. Urimax helps relax urinary tract muscles, easing stone passage, while Neeri supports kidney health. Along with these, drink plenty of water and consult your doctor for regular monitoring to ensure effective stone removal.
