No, you don't need to get circumcised before marriage just because your foreskin doesn't retract properly. This condition, called phimosis, is not a medical emergency or a requirement for marriage. However, if phimosis causes pain, discomfort, or other issues, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor about treatment options. These options can include steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, or, in some cases, circumcision.

Question

I'm alone with my father-in-law since my husband is out of town. He has an enlarged prostate, and I'm worried because he doesn't sleep well at night. I thought about giving him Avil 25, but I read online that it's not safe for someone with an enlarged prostate. I'm really concerned about what I should do. Do you think it's okay to give him this medication, or should I consider something else? Please let me know what would be best.

Question

I have an 8mm stone stuck in my upper ureter and have been taking both homeopathic and allopathic medicines like distone. My doctor suggested surgery saying it might block urine flow if it stays, but it's been 20 days and I'm peeing normally. Can an 8mm stone still allow urine to pass through a 45mm ureter without causing blockage?
