Yes, there are non-surgical methods for treating phimosis, including stretching exercises and topical steroid creams. Stretching exercises can help to gradually loosen the foreskin, while topical steroid creams can help reduce inflammation and make the foreskin easier to retract

I'm wondering how soon I can have sex now that my kidney stent has been removed. I had a ureteroscopy and laser surgery on May 11, 2017, to take out a stone from my kidney, and they left a stent in for two weeks. It was just removed yesterday, and my urine is mostly clear now, with just a bit of blood. Can you advise me on whether it's safe to resume sexual activity and if there are any precautions I should take?
