my foreskin retracts fine when soft but gets stuck when erect is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments that could help

While surgery (circumcision) is a common treatment for phimosis (tight foreskin), it's not always the only option. Non-surgical treatments, such as stretching exercises, steroid creams, and addressing underlying issues like infections or skin conditions, can also be effective

View allI'm really confused about my recent urine test results. It seems like every time I get tested, the RBC count comes back as 23 HPF with a weak reaction. I also had a KUB CT Scan and Ultra sound, plus urine Cytology and a PSA Blood test, and all those were normal. Out of 67 urine routine tests, two of them showed 56 RBC. The CT scan did show a 2mm renal calculus below my left kidney. Since everything else is normal, I'm having trouble understanding why there's still blood in my urine. Is this something I should be worried about, and do you think getting a Cystoscopy is necessary to figure out what's going on?

I've had a dull pain in my left testis for quite a while now. My USG scrotum showed a Grade III varicocele I've attached the report. What non-surgical treatments would you recommend for this? I'm a bit worried about the long-term effects if left untreated.
For a Grade III varicocele causing pain, initial non-surgical treatments focus on managing pain and discomfort. These include over-the-counter pain relievers, scrotal support with jock straps or snug underwear, and ice packs to reduce swelling. While these may offer temporary relief, Grade III varicoceles are often more severe and may require further intervention if pain persists or fertility is a concern
