Question 1

My foreskin is too tight to pull back and the doctor said it might be phimosis. Will using a cream help or is surgery the only option?

Accepted Answer

Topical steroid creams are often the first line of treatment for phimosis, and they can be effective in making the foreskin more pliable and easier to retract. If creams are not sufficient, surgery, such as circumcision or preputioplasty (a less invasive procedure), may be considered

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because I've been noticing some changes down there. It seems like my penis has gotten smaller, especially when it's not erect. I think it might be because I've been masturbating quite a lot. Can you tell me what I might be able to do to get it back to its normal size?

Accepted Answer

Try using a topical cream containing Alprostadil. Apply a pea-sized amount of Alprostadil cream directly to the penis twice daily. Additionally, you can take Tadalafil tablets once daily at a dose of 5mg. These medications can help improve blood flow to the penis and promote natural size restoration. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

Question 3

My dad is 65 and has multiple kidney stones around 25mm in size. He doesn't have BP or diabetes. Can these stones be treated with medicine or does he need surgery? What's the best option for someone his age?

Accepted Answer

For 25mm kidney stones, surgical intervention is generally recommended due to their size and likelihood of causing blockage or complications. Medications can be used to manage symptoms and prevent future stones, but they are unlikely to dissolve or pass stones of this size

What is best antibiotic for urinary tract infection?
