I'm dealing with a tight foreskin problem. It's really not soft, and when my penis is erect, it feels hard, and I can't fully pull it back. I'm a bit worried about this. Can you suggest any treatments or options for this issue?

You're experiencing symptoms of phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be retracted; treatment options include topical steroid creams like betamethasone to loosen the skin, manual stretching exercises, or in severe cases, circumcision or preputioplasty surgery, so consult a urologist

I have a frequent urine problem and consulted a urologist who prescribed me Pyridium, Urispas, and Alkasol syrup. After checking my urine report, he said my urine pipe is slightly shrunk and recommended surgery, but I don't want to go for it. I'm also taking Cantharis 30. Are these medicines okay or should I try something else?
