I'm worried because my penis has suddenly gotten swollen, and I dont exactly know why. I was traveling on a bus last night, and this morning I noticed it was a bit swollen. Now, it seems to have gotten worse. There's been no sexual activity or anything else that could explain it. Could something have bitten me, and what should I do about it? Can you help me out with some advice?

My left kidney has a blockage near the ureter, and doctors think it might be endometriosis, but they can't pinpoint the exact cause. We're still trying to figure out the final diagnosis before surgery. Is surgery the only option for this kind of blockage? I'd really appreciate some clarity on what else could be done.

While surgery is often the primary treatment for ureteral endometriosis, it's not always the first or only option. Before surgery, doctors may consider other approaches, such as ureteral stents, to help manage the blockage and protect the kidney.

my foreskin retracts fine when soft but gets stuck when erect is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments that could help

While surgery (circumcision) is a common treatment for phimosis (tight foreskin), it's not always the only option. Non-surgical treatments, such as stretching exercises, steroid creams, and addressing underlying issues like infections or skin conditions, can also be effective
