My foreskin won't pull back over my penis should I be considering surgery or are there meds that can help with this? It's been really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it.

If your foreskin won't pull back over your penis and is causing discomfort, you might have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract. Treatment options include topical steroid creams and, in some cases, surgery like circumcision or frenuloplasty

View allI'm alone with my father-in-law since my husband is out of town. He has an enlarged prostate, and I'm worried because he doesn't sleep well at night. I thought about giving him Avil 25, but I read online that it's not safe for someone with an enlarged prostate. I'm really concerned about what I should do. Do you think it's okay to give him this medication, or should I consider something else? Please let me know what would be best.
Avil (Pheniramine) should be used with caution in patients with prostate enlargement due to its potential to worsen urinary retention. It would be best to avoid giving Avil 25 to your father-in-law without consulting a healthcare professional. Instead, you can try non-medical interventions to help him sleep, such as creating a calming bedtime routine, ensuring a comfortable sleeping environment, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine close to bedtime. If his sleep troubles persist, it would be advisable to seek medical advice for a more suitable sleep aid.
