View allI'm really worried because I've had a swollen foreskin for the past three days. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it? It's been pretty uncomfortable, and I'm not sure if it's something serious. Could this be an infection or something else?
Kidney Stone Treatment: Hospital vs. Homeopathic Approach _Current situation:_ 1. _Diagnosed with a 5.7mm kidney stone_: Now reduced to 3mm. 2. _Severe pain_: Initially required hospital admission. _Considerations for leaving the hospital:_ 1. _Incomplete treatment_: You may be discharged too early, potentially leading to: - Stone growth or fragmentation - Recurring pain - Increased risk of complications (e.g., infection, blockage) 2. _Lack of medical supervision_: Homeopathic treatment may not provide adequate monitoring or address potential complications. 3. _Uncertain efficacy of homeopathic remedies_: While some homeopathic remedies, like Patharchatta (Bryophyllum pinnatum), may be suggested for kidney stones, their effectiveness is not extensively scientifically proven. _Recommended course of action:_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your desire to explore homeopathic treatment options and seek their advice. 2. _Complete conventional treatment_: Ensure you finish the recommended treatment course in the hospital to minimize the risk of complications. 3. _Post-discharge follow-up_: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed. _Patharchatta (Bryophyllum pinnatum):_ 1. _Traditional remedy_: This plant is sometimes used in traditional medicine to help manage kidney stones. 2. _Limited scientific evidence_: While some studies suggest potential benefits, more research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.

I'm really troubled by nightfall and it's been going on for 10 years now. I've tried various Ayurvedic and Unani medicines, but nothing seems to work. Can you help me understand why this is happening and what I can do to cure it?
Nightfall is a normal function of the body. It is the body's way of discharging the semen which gets collected. Don't fall into a trap by going for different types of treatments and waste your money. It is a natural process of the body and no medicine is required for it.
