I'm really worried because I'm diabetic with an FBS of 200 and I've noticed that I'm getting sensitive areas under the foreskin, which is prominent after intercourse. I'm uncircumcised and have been using Surbraz TZ cream for about two years to help subside the cuts, but it keeps recurring. My routine urine tests always come back normal, but sometimes my wife ends up with a UTI after we've been intimate. We've tried using Zocon T, and it helps temporarily, but the symptoms keep returning. I've seen a lot of skin and VD specialists, but no one has been able to provide a solution. I understand this might be related to my diabetes, but there's got to be some kind of cure or long-term solution, right? What should I do next?

Consider consulting a urologist or a diabetes specialist for personalized guidance, as your symptoms suggest a possible connection to balanitis, a common condition in uncircumcised diabetic men, characterized by inflammation and irritation under the foreskin; in addition to managing your diabetes, practicing good genital hygiene, and using topical creams like Surfraz TZ, explore other treatment options like circumcision, laser therapy, or antifungal medications, and address your wife's recurrent UTIs through a urologist or gynecologist to prevent further complications.

View alli have a 4mm kidney stone on both sides and was wondering if it can pass naturally without surgery also noticed slight bleeding in my urine today is that normal or something serious
Around 90% of small kidney stones (smaller than 6 mm) and 60% of large stones (larger than 6 mm) pass on their own. If you have a large kidney stone or one that's blocking the flow of pee, you'll need to have a procedure to break up and/or remove it.

My frenulum feels tight when I'm erect but in flaccid state the foreskin moves down fully My doctor said it's frenulum breve and recommended frenuloplasty I'm confused about which option is better stitchless frenuloplasty or the one with stitches What are the pros and cons of each
Frenuloplasty, a procedure to address a tight frenulum (frenulum breve), can be performed with or without stitches. Both stitchless and stitch-based frenuloplasty aim to lengthen the frenulum and allow for normal foreskin retraction.
