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 bit concerned about using steroid cream for treating phimosis. What kind of side effects should I be aware of? Do you think it's a better option to just go for the operation instead?
-Steroid creams for phimosis can sometimes cause skin thinning or irritation if used long-term. If the condition doesn't improve, circumcision or preputioplasty is a more definitive solution. Consult a urologist to choose the best option for you.

I'm wondering if it's okay to get uttar basti administered a few hours after dinner, maybe around bedtime. Is it safe or effective to do it at night before sleeping?
Yes, you can undergo uttar basti at night after 3 hours of dinner. It is recommended to have a light meal before the procedure. For men, uttar basti can be undertaken at night before sleep. You can use the Ayurvedic medicine brand "Dhanvantaram" for uttar basti administration. The recommended dosage is as per the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.

I've been thinking about using ashwagandha, shatavari, kaunch beej, and safed musli powder as supplements, but I'm worried about how safe they are for my liver and kidneys if I take them for a long time. I'm 24, male, and unmarried. Could you let me know if it's safe and how I should take them?
As a 24-year-old male, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Kaunch Beej, and Safed Musli powder are generally considered safe for kidneys and liver in moderation; to use them long-term, consult an Ayurvedic expert for personalized guidance, but a common approach is to cycle them for 3-4 months, followed by a 1-2 month break, and start with a small dose (12 teaspoon) twice a day, mixed with milk or water, and gradually increase as needed and under expert supervision.
