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 allMy penis foreskin moved behind the head during intercourse while using a condom, so the head was visible, got red and a bit bigger, but then went back to normal after a while when I pulled the foreskin back forward. There's no pain and everything looks normal now. Is this something to worry about?
Normal.

I'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 was diagnosed with varicose veins about a year and a half ago and I've been on medication since. I've been told it's hereditary. But now, I'm experiencing some side effects from the meds. I'm curious if there's a treatment or cure in Ayurveda that could help with this. Could anyone provide some guidance on this?
