I'm really worried because I think I might have paraphimosis. My foreskin is stuck and it's formed this ring with some swelling. Is there any way I can treat this at home or should I see a doctor?

Paraphimosis can restrict blood flow to the glans penis( head ),potentially leading to tissue damage if left untreated. Therefore, while some home remedies may provide temporary relief , definitive treatment should be performed by a specialist .

View allI'm a 53-year-old guy who's really into staying fitI exercise, walk, and swim daily. Lately, though, my knees have been hurting a lot, especially when I swim or walk. I'm not keen on taking any allopathic meds for this. Can you suggest an ayurvedic treatment or remedy that might help?
Knee pain, especially with your active routine, could be due to overuse or joint stress. Ayurvedic treatments like **Ashwagandha** for inflammation, **Turmeric** for its anti-inflammatory properties, and **Mahanarayan Oil** for local application can help soothe the pain. It's also beneficial to incorporate gentle yoga stretches and avoid excessive strain on the knees. Always consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
