I've been having some trouble with my foreskin since I can't pull it back when my penis is erect, and it really hurts when I try. I'm wondering, could this be phimosis or maybe paraphimosis? Also, I'm curious if there's a way to treat this without surgery, or is surgery the way to go? If I do need surgery, is it safe to have it done at my age, and should I be worried about any side effects?

You may be experiencing phimosis, which is the inability to fully retract the foreskin over the head of the penis. This can cause pain and discomfort, especially during erections. Phimosis is different from paraphimosis, which is a medical emergency where the retracted foreskin cannot be returned to its original position. For phimosis treatment, you can try using topical steroid creams such as Betamethasone or Hydrocortisone. These creams can help to soften the foreskin and make it easier to retract. You can apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to the tight area twice a day for a few weeks. If conservative treatments do not work, then circumcision surgery may be recommended.

View allI'm a 26-year-old guy, and I'm really concerned about something that's been happening with me. Whenever I think about anything sexual or watch a sexy movie, this clear gel-like liquid comes out of my penis. I'm curious about what exactly this is and how I can stop it. Also, I've noticed that if I get aroused at night or have a sexual dream, I end up ejaculating without realizing it. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?

I'm trying to figure out which would be better to takePanegra 50, Caverta 50, or Manforce 50? Im also curious about what the recommended dosage would be for these and if they have any side effects. When would be the best time to take one of these?
Panegra 50, Caverta 50, and Manforce 50 are all brand names for **Sildenafil Citrate**, commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. The typical dosage is **50 mg**, taken **30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity**, and can be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerance. Common side effects include **headache, dizziness, flushing, and indigestion**. It's important to avoid taking these with nitrate medications, as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Always follow your doctor's guidance for safe use.

Found out I have a 19mm right PU junction calculus and a 10mm right renal calculus with mild hydronephrosis on the right side. Do I really need surgery to remove these stones or are there any medicines that can help instead?
For your 19mm right PU junction calculus and 10mm right renal calculus with mild hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the most appropriate treatment option, particularly for the larger stone. While medications can help with pain management and sometimes assist in passing smaller stones, the 19mm stone is unlikely to pass on its own and may require surgical intervention
