I'm 23 years old and I've noticed that my foreskin is attached to the tip of my penis, and it's painful when I try to pull it back. I'm really anxious about getting a circumcision, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to detach the foreskin. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Phimosis refers to the inability to retract the distal foreskin over the glans penis. Pathologic phimosis defines an inability to retract the foreskin after it was previously retractible or after puberty, usually secondary to distal scarring of the foreskin. Paraphimosis is the entrapment of a retracted foreskin behind the coronal sulcus. Paraphimosis is a disease of uncircumcised or partially circumcised males....Up to 95% of cases of phimosis have been shown to respond to application of topical steroids to the preputial orifice, although some studies have suggested that this response rate may decline several months after the regimen is completed. An initial attempt at medical intervention has been shown to reduce costs by 27.3% in comparison with primary circumcision as a treatment...consult nearest urologist they will help you further

I noticed something strange today while I was using the bathroom. There was a red thread-like thing in my urine, and I've never seen anything like it before. I don't have any pain, itching, or other problems, but it's got me a bit concerned. Any idea what this could be?
The red thread-like shape in your urine could be a blood clot, a urinary cast, or a thread-like piece of tissue; given the absence of pain, itching, or other symptoms, it's likely a harmless anomaly, but to rule out any underlying conditions, such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, or bladder issues, consult a urologist

It's been 7 days since my circumcision but there's still swelling and a ring-like appearance around the head of my penis. How long until the swelling fully goes down and everything looks normal again? I also have some lingering pain - is that expected? Will that ring shape disappear as it heals?
Swelling and pain are common after circumcision and should subside within 2-3 weeks. The ring-like appearance is normal post-surgery, and it will likely disappear as the healing progresses.
