I'm having trouble pulling back the foreskin on my penis, and it's causing a really uncomfortable tightness at the tip during full erections and when trying to insert. On top of that, I'm dealing with premature ejaculation. Should I be seeing a urologist for this, or is a general surgeon the better option? Also, is there a connection between this issue with my foreskin, phimosis I think it's called, and premature ejaculation?

You should consult a urologist, as they specialize in genital and urinary tract issues, including phimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin) and premature ejaculation (PE); while phimosis and PE can coexist, they are not directly related, but treating phimosis through circumcision, preputioplasty, or frenuloplasty may help alleviate discomfort and tightness, which could indirectly improve PE symptoms, and a urologist can assess and address both concerns.

View allI'm worried because I tore my frenulum a few days ago, and I'm wondering how long it'll take to heal. How can I tell when it's fully healed?
The healing time for a torn frenulum can vary depending on the severity of the tear. In general, it may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for the frenulum to heal completely. You will know it is healed when the pain and any bleeding have stopped, and the skin appears to be fully healed without any open wounds or scabs. To help with the healing process, you can keep the area clean and dry, avoid any activities that may cause further injury, and consider using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to manage any discomfort. If you experience persistent pain, excessive bleeding, or signs of infection, it is important to seek medical attention.

I drink plenty of water and watch my diet but still keep getting kidney stones - this is my third surgery to remove them why do they keep forming even when I'm careful what causes these stones to develop repeatedly
Even with good hydration and dietary choices, recurring kidney stones can be due to various factors including underlying medical conditions, genetic predisposition, or certain medications. Your doctor may need to investigate further to determine the specific cause of your recurring stones and tailor a prevention plan.

I have grade 2 varicocele on the left side and grade 1 on the right, with a sperm count of 8 million/ml and very low motility at 10% and morphology at 1%. I'm considering surgery but unsure which method is better laparoscopic or microsurgery. What's the difference between these two in terms of repairing varicocele, and which one would be more suitable for my condition?
