My mom has moderate hydronephrosis due to a ureteropelvic junction issue can homeopathy really help her avoid surgery? I'm worried about her condition and want to explore non-surgical options that actually work

Homeopathy hasn’t shown proven results in treating hydronephrosis.Surgical correction remains the mainstay if symptoms worsen.

I'm really struggling with some issues regarding my penis. It seems to have gotten quite small, and I feel awkward when I'm peeing because I make an effort to hide it from others. When it does get hard, it's not as firm as I'd like, and I often experience early leakage. Can you guide me on what might be happening and suggest possible solutions?

The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches. There's more variation in the size of flaccid penises. Some guys are genuinely smaller than that. In rare cases, genetics and hormone problems cause a condition called micropenis ...Sometimes Peyronie's disease can reduce a guy's size. Losing weight will reveal more of that hidden shaft that's buried beneath belly fat. It doesn't actually increase your size, but it will look that way..

I've been dealing with kidney stones and got prescribed antibiotics, codeine, and paracetamol. It's been 5 days, and I still haven't had a bowel movement. Is it alright if I take something like senokot to help with this? I'm a bit worried about this situation.

Topical Treatments* 1. *Steroid creams*: Apply topical steroid creams (e.g., betamethasone or triamcinolone) to reduce inflammation and promote skin elasticity. 2. *Vitamin E oil*: Massage vitamin E oil into the affected area to promote skin health and elasticity. 3. *Tea tree oil*: Apply diluted tea tree oil (3-5%) to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. *Pharmaconutritional Treatments* 1. *Vitamin D supplements*: Ensure adequate vitamin D levels, as deficiencies can contribute to phimosis. 2. *Omega-3 fatty acids*: Consume omega-3 rich foods or supplements to reduce inflammation and promote skin health. *Additional Recommendations* 1. *Gentle manual stretching*: Continue gentle manual stretching of the foreskin, ideally with a lubricant, to promote elasticity and retractability. 2. *Warm baths*: Regular warm baths can help relax the skin and promote retractability. 3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: Schedule regular follow-ups with a healthcare professional to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed. *Important Notes* 1. *Circumcision may be necessary*: If phimosis persists or worsens, circumcision may be required to prevent complications. 2. *Infection risk*: Monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.
