View allI have partial phimosis and I'm really worried about it can it be treated without needing surgery? What are my options and how effective are they? I'd prefer to avoid an operation if possible
Another effective alternate cure for phimosis is topical corticosteroids in the form of creams, ointments, or gels. Using these steroid creams for phimosis about 6-8 weeks improves the condition of phimosis in most cases. Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin.

I have a 5.8 x 3.5 cm renal cyst in my right kidney and I'm looking for treatment options other than sclerotherapy or surgery. Are there any effective ayurvedic medicines, yoga, jogging, or homeopathy remedies that can help shrink or manage it? I'm a bit worried and want to explore natural alternatives first.
While natural therapies like Ayurveda, yoga, jogging, and homeopathy may offer supportive benefits, they are unlikely to shrink or eliminate a renal cyst of this size (5.8 x 3.5 cm) on their own. Ayurveda may help manage symptoms and improve kidney health, while yoga and exercise can support overall well-being. However, for a cyst of this size, medical intervention, such as sclerotherapy or surgery, might be necessary to address any potential complications or significant discomfort
