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'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.
