my frenulum is too short and tight making it uncomfortable is there any natural ways to stretch or loosen it without surgery i really want to avoid going under the knife
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A short frenulum can sometimes be stretched with exercises or topical creams. If painful, minor surgery (frenuloplasty) is often effective.

No need of surgery. It would not affect ur Fertility. Wear scrotal support during day time, if u feel comfortable.

I have an 18 mm kidney stone on the right side and an 11 mm one on the left. Can homeopathy really help remove stones this big or would I need surgery? What kind of procedure would be best for stones this size?
An 18 mm kidney stone usually requires surgical intervention for removal, as it's unlikely to pass naturally. Several minimally invasive procedures are commonly used, including ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy), RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery), and URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy). PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) may also be considered if other methods are not suitable.

Is it possible to pass a 6mm kidney stone without needing surgery doc I'm really worried about this and want to know my options
Around 90% of small kidney stones (smaller than 6 mm) and 60% of large stones (larger than 6 mm) pass on their own. If you have a large kidney stone or one that's blocking the flow of pee, you'll need to have a procedure to break up and/or remove it
