I'm dealing with a problem where the foreskin on my penis is really tight, and I can't pull it back at all. I can't see the inside of my penis, and it seems like others my age can do this easily. I've heard that having a tight foreskin can cause pain and maybe even bleeding during sex. I'm not sure what I should do about it, could you help me out with some advice?

To address this issue, you can try using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% cream. Apply a small amount of the cream to the tight part of the foreskin twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. This can help to reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. In severe cases where conservative measures do not work, a circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare professional. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

View allMy brother has partial phimosis and we're considering surgery but I was wondering if there's a cream or tablet that could help loosen the skin so he can retract it fully without needing an operation
Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin. This makes it easier to retract the foreskin without experiencing severe pain or discomfort. Just apply the cream or ointment in the area around the head of the penis twice or thrice a day

I don't usually masturbate regularly, but when I do, I end up with this annoying pain in my lower back that sticks around for like a week or more. If I happen to do it again before the pain goes away, it just gets worse. The pain's really bothersome, making it tough to walk or even lie down comfortably. I'm thinking it might have something to do with my prostate gland, but I'm not really sure. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like the pain youre experiencing could be related to muscle strain or tension in your lower back, rather than directly involving your prostate. However, if the pain is persistent or worsening, I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions such as prostate issues, muscular problems, or nerve involvement. They can help provide a more accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with some intense pain in my lower abdomen ever since I was told I have kidney stones a few days ago. The ultrasound showed a 4mm stone, and my doctor prescribed me meftal spas for the pain, but it's not really working for me. The pain is seriously tough to handle. Is there any other way to manage or stop this pain?
If Dolo 650 isn't effective, consider the following options: Consult your doctor before switching medications. You can try Crocin (paracetamol) 650mg or Calpol (paracetamol) 650mg. If your fever is severe, your doctor may prescribe a stronger medication like Combiflam (ibuprofen and paracetamol) or Brufen (ibuprofen). However, always consult your doctor before taking any new medication. Additionally, ensure staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest.
