Tomorrow is my circumcision surgery and I smoke about 34 cigarettes a day. I had my last smoke at 8:30 pm today and the surgery is at 9:30 am tomorrow. Is stopping smoking 13 hours before the procedure okay or should I be worried about any risks?

View allI'm really worried because I've had a swollen foreskin for the past three days. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it? It's been pretty uncomfortable, and I'm not sure if it's something serious. Could this be an infection or something else?
Kidney Stone Treatment: Hospital vs. Homeopathic Approach _Current situation:_ 1. _Diagnosed with a 5.7mm kidney stone_: Now reduced to 3mm. 2. _Severe pain_: Initially required hospital admission. _Considerations for leaving the hospital:_ 1. _Incomplete treatment_: You may be discharged too early, potentially leading to: - Stone growth or fragmentation - Recurring pain - Increased risk of complications (e.g., infection, blockage) 2. _Lack of medical supervision_: Homeopathic treatment may not provide adequate monitoring or address potential complications. 3. _Uncertain efficacy of homeopathic remedies_: While some homeopathic remedies, like Patharchatta (Bryophyllum pinnatum), may be suggested for kidney stones, their effectiveness is not extensively scientifically proven. _Recommended course of action:_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your desire to explore homeopathic treatment options and seek their advice. 2. _Complete conventional treatment_: Ensure you finish the recommended treatment course in the hospital to minimize the risk of complications. 3. _Post-discharge follow-up_: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed. _Patharchatta (Bryophyllum pinnatum):_ 1. _Traditional remedy_: This plant is sometimes used in traditional medicine to help manage kidney stones. 2. _Limited scientific evidence_: While some studies suggest potential benefits, more research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.

I'm 28 and considering circumcision. I'm a bit worried about whether there might be any impact on size after the procedure. Also, what are the benefits of getting circumcised at this age? Any insights would be really helpful.
Circumcision at the age of 28 is generally safe and can have several benefits. The procedure can help reduce the risk of certain sexually transmitted infections, such as HIV. It may also lower the risk of urinary tract infections and penile cancer. In terms of size effect, circumcision does not have a significant impact on penile size. The most common pros of circumcision include improved hygiene, decreased risk of infections, and potential reduction in the risk of certain medical conditions. If you decide to undergo circumcision at the age of 28, it is important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
