I'm a 43-year-old guy and I've been dealing with erectile dysfunction for the past year. It's been really bothering me and I'm not sure what to do. Are there any medications that could help me out?

I'm thinking about trying out this condom brand called Durex Extra Time. It has benzocaine, I think about 5%, and I've never used it before. I heard it might numb the tip of the penis a bit to help delay ejaculation. Are these kinds of condoms safe to use regularly? Could using them often have any negative effects on my penis or overall health?

Durex Extra Time condoms, which contain benzocaine (a mild local anesthetic), are generally considered safe for use. They work by numbing the tip of the penis to help delay ejaculation. However, using them frequently may lead to temporary numbness or irritation for some individuals. If you experience any discomfort or allergic reactions, it's best to discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

I had ZSR circumcision surgery on 22nd February and all the staples along with the silicon ring have fallen off except one small part still hanging and attached to the skin. It hurts a little when I try to remove it so I'm scared pulling it might cause problems. Can I safely pull it off? Also, am I okay to resume sexual activities like intercourse or masturbation now?

If it’s not falling off naturally, leave it—don’t pull; see your surgeon for removal and resume sex only after complete healing.

I'm dealing with phimosis and my doctor in Delhi confirmed it. Right now, I'm in Hyderabad and considering ZSR stapler circumcision. Can you suggest hospitals here that accept insurance for this procedure? I'm a bit worried about the costs and want to find a place where insurance will cover it.

To find a hospital in Hyderabad that offers ZSR stapler circumcision and accepts insurance, you should contact hospitals or clinics specializing in urology or surgical procedures. Check with PACE Hospitals, Pristyn Care, or Hyderabad Laser Surgery as they offer circumcision services and may have information about insurance coverage. You can also consult with your insurance provider to confirm which hospitals are in their network and if ZSR stapler circumcision is a covered procedure
