I'm experiencing a lot of pain during sex and I'm not sure if it's because of a short frenulum or something else. I also have a hard time opening it properly when it becomes erect. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing pain due to a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis. This can be caused by a short frenulum. I recommend using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone (0.05%) to help loosen the foreskin. Apply a small amount to the tight area twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. If this does not improve your symptoms, you may need to consider a circumcision or a frenuloplasty procedure. Please consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.

View allFound out I have a 6mm kidney stone and I'm really worried do I need surgery or can drinking lots of water help pass it naturally? What should I do next to manage this?
A 6mm kidney stone may be difficult to pass naturally and might require medical intervention, but drinking plenty of water can help. While a 6mm stone has a lower chance of passing on its own compared to smaller stones, increased hydration can still help. Consult a doctor to discuss treatment options, which may include medical management or surgery.

My 5th grader has phimosis where the skin almost fully covers the head and won't pull back but he can still pee normally. Is surgery or laser treatment the only option or are there other ways to manage this without going that route?
circumcision is advised.
