I'm really concerned about the size of my penis and I'm hoping for some advice on how to increase it. Right now, when it's hard, it's about 5 inches, but I wish it were a bit larger. Can you offer any suggestions on this?

It's completely normal to have concerns about body image, but it's important to understand that size and thickness are often less significant than factors like intimacy, trust, and communication in relationships. There are no proven medications or treatments for increasing penis thickness. If you're still concerned, I recommend speaking to a urologist for personalized advice and support.

View allI've been noticing a slight whitish scum that builds up under the foreskin around the base of the head of my penis. It seems to accumulate and I usually find it when I pull the skin back during cleaning. I'm not sure what this is, and I'm wondering if there's any treatment or something specific I should do about it. Can you offer some advice?
Leaving the Hospital and Homeopathic Treatment_ 1. _Medical supervision_: Since you've been hospitalized for severe pain and diagnosed with a kidney stone, it's essential to complete your treatment under medical supervision. 2. _Stone size reduction_: The reduction in stone size from 5.7mm to 3mm is a positive sign. However, it's crucial to ensure the stone passes safely and doesn't cause further complications. 3. _Homeopathic treatment_: While some homeopathic remedies, like Patharchatta (Bryophyllum pinnatum), may be suggested for kidney stone treatment, there is limited scientific evidence to support their effectiveness. Consult your doctor before adding any homeopathic remedies to your treatment plan. _Risks of Leaving the Hospital Prematurely_ 1. _Pain recurrence_: If the stone doesn't pass or is not properly treated, pain can recur. 2. _Infection or complications_: Untreated kidney stones can lead to infections, blockages, or other complications. 3. _Delayed treatment_: Leaving the hospital prematurely might delay necessary treatment, potentially leading to more severe consequences. _Recommendation_ 1. _Complete your hospital treatment_: Finish your treatment under medical supervision to ensure the stone passes safely and doesn't cause further complications. 2. _Consult your doctor about homeopathic remedies_: Discuss the potential benefits and risks of adding homeopathic remedies, like Patharchatta, to your treatment plan. 3. _Follow-up appointments_: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I've got a 4 mm kidney stone and there's some mild swelling on my left ureter. The pain and vomiting I'm experiencing are really concerning me. Could you advise on how serious this is and what steps I should take to manage it?
You are experiencing symptoms of kidney stones with associated complications. To help with the pain and promote the passage of the stone, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen. It is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe tamsulosin to help relax the muscles in the ureter and facilitate the passage of the stone. If the pain is severe, stronger pain medications such as ketorolac may be prescribed. In cases of persistent vomiting, antiemetic medications like ondansetron can be helpful. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for each medication.
