I've got some meftal spas tablets at home. Is it okay to take them for kidney stone pain since my family doctor prescribed them to me before? I'm a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe.

My 73-year-old father has phimosis, and his urologist recommended circumcision mainly for hygiene and to prevent future infections. He's had diabetes for 26 years but it's well-controlled (HBA1C 6.6), and his BP is stable. The doctor suggested conventional surgery under local anesthesia but didn't mention laser surgery. I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of both methods conventional cutting vs laser especially for someone his age with diabetes. Which one would be safer or more recommended in his case?

It's been 23 days since my ZSR surgery and I'm not on any meds now but I noticed a black spot near the frenulum area with some pus-like stuff. Should I be concerned? What should I do next? Also how long does the hypersensitivity last because I'm still uncomfortable wearing shorts and walking
