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 allI'm really worried about my health right now. I have a 23 mm microlith in the upper pole of my kidney with some minimal hydronephrosis. There's this constant, mild pain on my right side, both in the kidney and the tube area. I'm also feeling pretty weak. I just got checked out yesterday, and they mentioned an edematous UV junction in my urinary bladder, plus a cyst and something about my thyroid. Is this something serious? What can I do about it? I'm really hoping to get some advice.

I've been diagnosed with a hypotonic neurogenic bladder and have been dealing with slow urine flow, sometimes medium. Allopathy and surgery don't seem to offer a permanent cure. Are there any permanent treatment options in Ayurveda or homeopathy? I've been struggling with this for 1.5 years and visited multiple hospitals without much success. What would you suggest?
While both Ayurveda and homeopathy offer alternative approaches, neither is considered a "permanent cure" for hypotonic neurogenic bladder. They focus on symptom management and improving overall well-being. A comprehensive approach, including medication, physical therapy, and potentially surgical interventions, may be necessary for a permanent solution

my foreskin doesn't pull back and it's really uncomfortable should i get surgery for this and how much would it cost
If your foreskin doesn't pull back and is causing discomfort, it could be phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract. While some cases of phimosis resolve on their own, surgery might be necessary if conservative treatments don't work. The cost of surgery can vary depending on the procedure and your location, but you can expect to pay between ‚Çπ5,000 and ‚Çπ35,000 in India
