I'm having a problem with the skin on my penis not retracting during sex with my partner. It seems like it's not opening properly. I've been using oil whenever we have sex, but I'm not sure if that's okay. Is there something I should be doing differently, or should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing tightness of the foreskin, a condition known as phimosis, which can make it difficult for the skin to retract during sex. Applying a lubricant, such as oil, can help reduce friction, but its important to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and explore treatment options, such as gentle stretching exercises or, in some cases, medical intervention.

I'm a 37-year-old male who developed a urethral stricture after laparoscopic surgery for a urethral stone. Right now, it's just starting and I only have minor issues like slight difficulty passing urine. I really don't want to go through another surgery are there any homeopathic treatments that could help manage this?

homeopathic treatments may provide some relief for certain conditions, there is currently no scientific evidence to support their use for urethral strictures. Urethral strictures are typically managed through surgical interventions like dilation, urethrotomy, or reconstructive surgery (urethroplasty). Given the potential for progression and complications, it's crucial to consult with a urologist to discuss the best course of action for your specific condition.

My dad has a 25mm stone in his right kidney and a 13mm stone in the left one but his creatinine levels and kidney function are normal. Since he also has heart issues, is there any way to get rid of the stones with just medicines or does he definitely need surgery?

A 25mm and 13mm kidney stone with normal renal function may sometimes be managed medically, but due to heart issues, surgical options like RIRS or PCNL need cardiac clearance first.
