If you pull back your foreskin, exposing the head of your penis, but then are unable to slide the foreskin back over the head, you have a condition called paraphimosis. Because the retracted foreskin can cut blood flow to the tip of the penis, you should call your doctor or visit the hospital right away. Taking a warm shower may help soften and expand the foreskin enough to solve the problem, but don't be too forceful in trying to slide the foreskin back in place. You could cause the skin to tear or other damage. Smegma is nothing more than a buildup of shed skin cells underneath the foreskin. If you don't clean beneath your foreskin regularly, though, the smegma can develop a mucus-like texture and unpleasant odor, and can harbor bacteria that can lead to infection.  Teens and adults should clean beneath their foreskins every time they bathe or shower, using a mild soap and plenty of rinsing water. Younger children generally don't have to worry about smegma buildup, unless there is inflammation or discharge. In this case, see a doctor. If you experience redness and/or inflammation on the underside of your foreskin, the tip of your penis, or both, a fungal infection is the most likely culprit. Apply an over-the-counter antifungal cream to the area (as per the product instructions) to see if the issue clears up within a few weeks. If OTC antifungals don't help, or if the area becomes more painful, inflamed, or swollen, contact your doctor.

You need to use a large enough pot with good drainage. You might also want to consider pots made out of plastic or resin, since these won't absorb water that should go to the plant. Potted plants need a more nutrient rich soil than garden plants, since they don't get the benefit of water circulation like regular plants. Use a high-quality potting soil and pair it with some compost. Potted plants, like garden plants, are prone to pests and mold. Even more so because they lack the natural environmental counterbalances. If mold develops on your soil, remove the top layer of soil and replace it. If you end up with a pest problem, deal with it promptly before your flowers are negatively affected. Different types of flowers need more or less sun. Carefully plan where you will place your pots so that the flowers get the correct amount. You'll have to keep the light angle, time of day, and directionality of the sunlight in mind when placing the pot (don't just put a sun-needy flower in front of just any window). If you don't have access to enough sunlight, trying using a fluorescent light. If the plant doesn't seem to be taking off in the way you'd like, introduce an appropriate fertilizer for that particular plant. Consult your local nursery for a good product. When the blossoms get wilted or are simply growing in an unnecessary location (such as under the rest of the plant), you can encourage more and healthier blossoms by pinching off the ones you don't want. Check the soil for moisture daily and provide the right level of water to keep the soil damp enough for your particular plant. The temperature of the environment, exposure to natural rainfall, the type of soil, and the type of plant all play a part in how much water your flowers will need. Check your plant every now and again to see if it needs a bigger pot. Turn it over and look at the drainage holes. If lots of roots are poking through, you need a bigger pot.

A standing hamstring stretch is an exercise that can help treat sciatica pain by stretching and lengthening the hamstring (back of your thigh) muscles.  Stand in front of a low table or sturdy box.  Place one heel on the table or box on it while standing straight and keeping your foot flexed and toes pointed to the ceiling. Slowly bend over at the waist, making sure to keep your back straight.  Try to touch your toes, as much as you can until you feel a slight stretch in your hamstrings.  If you're not able to touch the toes, rest your hands on your shin or knee for a more comfortable position. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, then return your foot to the floor.  Repeat this stretch two to three times per leg. Flexing and bending your back forward can alleviate pain from sciatica.  This helps to alleviate the irritation or impingement on the nerve.  Start by lying on your back on the floor on an exercise mat or carpet.  Bend both of your knees while raising them towards your chest. You will be able to feel a light stretch at the lower part of your back.  Hold your knees at a position that you feel a light, yet comfortable stretching sensation in your lower back. Hold the stretch for thirty seconds, and repeat four to six times. Although a common pose to yoga, the child's pose is another exercise that can cause the comfortable, forward bending stretch that can help alleviate sciatica pain.  Sit on your knees on a carpet or exercise mat.  Lower your forehead to the ground and rest your head comfortably. Stretch your arms out in front of you and over your head and just allow them to relax, palm-side down on the mat or carpet in front of you. Hold this position for 30 seconds and repeat four to six times as you're able and feel comfortable. The piriformis stretch or "ankle over knee" exercise helps to  loosen the piriformis muscle and increases its flexibility. Increased piriformis flexibility reduces the pressure on the sciatic nerve underneath. It is important to stretch the piriformis because, while it is very small and deep, it runs directly over the sciatic nerve.  Increased tension in this muscle will cause compression of the sciatic nerve (possibly all the way down the leg).  Lie down on your back on the carpet or exercise mat.  Bend both of your knees at a 90 degree angle and keep feet flat on the floor. Place the left ankle on top of the right leg's knee. Your legs should now form a figure four pattern. The outer side of the left ankle should rest comfortably on the right leg’s front thigh. Grab the back of your right thigh and slowly pull your thigh forward. You should feel a stretch deep in the left butt muscle. This is the piriformis being stretched. Keep your butt on the ground the whole time and hold the position for 30 seconds. People older than 40 years old should hold the position for 60 seconds. Switch legs and repeat two to three times per leg.
