I'm worried about my tight frenulumit's making it hard for me to pull my foreskin down. Is there anything I can do at home to help with this? I'm looking for some advice on possible remedies or exercises that might make it easier to manage.

To help alleviate a tight frenulum at home, try gentle stretching exercises: 1) massage the frenulum with gentle circular motions, 2) use a lubricant and slowly stretch the frenulum while pulling the foreskin down, and 3) repeat exercises 2-3 times a day; however, if the frenulum is severely tight or causing discomfort, consult a urologist

View allI have a 15mm kidney stone in my right PUJ and a 9mm one in my left kidney, and my creatinine serum level is 1.13. My doctor recommends laser surgery with a stent, but I'm wondering if there's any way to remove or dissolve these stones naturally. How long can I safely delay the surgery?
Given the size of your kidney stones (15mm and 9mm) and your creatinine level (1.13), a delay in surgery might not be advisable, especially for the larger stone in the PUJ. While natural methods like increased fluid intake can help with small stones, larger ones and those causing obstruction, like the 15mm one, typically require intervention.

my foreskin doesn't pull back and it's really uncomfortable should i get surgery for this and how much would it cost
If your foreskin doesn't pull back and is causing discomfort, it could be phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract. While some cases of phimosis resolve on their own, surgery might be necessary if conservative treatments don't work. The cost of surgery can vary depending on the procedure and your location, but you can expect to pay between ‚Çπ5,000 and ‚Çπ35,000 in India
