View allI have 12mm and 6.3mm stones in both kidneys and my doctor recommended surgery to drill the kidney. I'm only 27 and really scared about going through this is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I can try at my age
While percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), a surgery to drill the kidney, is a common option for larger kidney stones, it's not always the only treatment. Other options, like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and ureteroscopy, can be considered, especially for smaller stones or if PCNL carries a higher risk due to your age or other factors. Medical management and lifestyle changes can also be effective for some cases, particularly when the stones are smaller and less likely to cause complications

I'm really concerned because I've noticed that my penis seems smaller, and the skin doesn't move back at all. Plus, there are red patches appearing at the tip that seem like an infection. Could you give me some advice on what this might be or how I could treat it?
Diagnosis* 1. *Phimosis*: A condition where the foreskin is tight and cannot be retracted over the glans penis. 2. *Balanitis*: An inflammation of the glans penis, which can cause red patches, itching, and discharge. 3. *Genital warts or other STIs*: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). *Treatment Advice* 1. *Consult a urologist or dermatologist*: Schedule an appointment with a specialist to confirm the diagnosis and receive personalized treatment. 2. *Topical creams or ointments*: For balanitis, your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, or miconazole. 3. *Antibiotics or antivirals*: If an STI is suspected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics or antivirals to treat the underlying infection. 4. *Circumcision or preputioplasty*: If phimosis is diagnosed, your doctor may recommend circumcision or preputioplasty to loosen the foreskin. 5. *Good genital hygiene*: Practice good genital hygiene by keeping the area clean, avoiding harsh soaps, and wearing loose-fitting clothing. *Additional Tips* 1. *Avoid self-medication*: Refrain from using over-the-counter creams or ointments without consulting a doctor. 2. *Practice safe sex*: Use condoms to prevent the transmission of STIs. 3. *Follow-up appointments*: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor treatment progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I've been dealing with this issue and could really use some guidance. In my younger days, I masturbated a lot, often without lubricant or sometimes using soap. Now, the head of my penis is really dry, and if I dont put on moisturizer twice a day, it ends up burning a lot. What can I do about this? Is there something else I should be using or looking into?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
