I'm dealing with a condition called balanitis, and it's been going on for quite a while now. Could you suggest any creams or tablets that might help?

Hi there i understand your concern regarding your genital health...The main cause of balanitis is poor hygiene. Poor hygiene causes harmful bacteria to overpopulate the area, which can lead to infection...it can be fungal as well... Clinical examination is necessary to diagnose it and to rule out other possible conditions....you may require antibiotic or antifungal creams..Before applying any treatment option, it is important to avoid using irritants such as perfumed soap, lotion, or powder. This prevents further irritation of the foreskin...Consult nearest dermatologist they will do the needful.

View allI'm really worried because I've noticed the hole in my penis seems to be getting larger, and I think it might be because Ive been masturbating a lot. Is there anything I can do to get it back to its original size?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as urethral meatal stenosis, where the opening of the urethra becomes enlarged. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In some cases, a topical steroid cream may be prescribed to help reduce the size of the opening. Additionally, if the enlargement is causing any discomfort or issues with urination, a surgical procedure called meatoplasty may be recommended to repair the opening of the urethra.

I have a 6.5 mm stone in the lower middle part of my left kidney. Can this be treated with medications or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about the options and what would work best for me.
For 6mm kidney stones, medical treatment is often recommended, which involves increasing urine output. Some medications can dissolve certain types of stones, such as uric acid or cystine stones. However, these medications cannot dissolve calcium stones, which account for 80% of kidney stones
