what cream or oral medicine can help treat phimosis without needing surgery i really want to avoid surgery if possible
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For mild to moderate phimosis, topical steroid creams and stretching exercises are often the first line of treatment, with the goal of softening and stretching the foreskin to allow it to retract more easily. Topical steroid creams, such as betamethasone valerate (Betnovate) or hydrocortisone, are commonly used. Stretching exercises, when combined with cream use, can further enhance the foreskin's elasticity and ability to retract

I have a 9mm kidney stone and I'm trying to decide between RIRS and ureteroscopy which one would be better for my case? I'm a bit confused about the pros and cons of each procedure
For a 9mm kidney stone, RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is generally preferred over ureteroscopy (URS) because it's more effective and minimally invasive for stones located in the kidney itself. While both are effective, RIRS is often favored for larger or more complex stones in the kidney, while URS is more commonly used for stones in the ureter.
