I'm experiencing some discoloration on the glans of my penis and suspect it might be balanitis. I'm just unsure if I should see a urologist or another type of specialist. Could you advise on who would be the right doctor to consult for this issue?

For balanitis, you can consult a Urologist. They can prescribe you an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole to apply on the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry is important for recovery.

A 6mm kidney stone stuck in the ureter can be managed by encouraging it to pass naturally, with the goal of avoiding surgery. This involves increasing fluid intake, potentially using medication to relax the ureter, and managing pain.
