Question 1

I've got phimosis and talked to a urologist who suggested going through with a circumcision. I'm really scared of surgeries and was hoping for another way to treat it. He mentioned that the situation is quite tight, so I'm wondering if there's a different approach. Also, do adults get stitches after circumcision? How long would I need to stay in bed, and how many days will it take for everything to heal completely?

Accepted Answer

I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, if the phimosis is severe and cannot be resolved with other treatments, circumcision is often the recommended option. Yes, stitches are typically used in adult circumcision, and most people need about 1-2 weeks of recovery time, with complete healing taking around 4-6 weeks. Its important to follow your doctor's aftercare advice for the best outcome.

Question 2

I have bilateral grade 1 varicocele and my left testicle hangs much lower and feels heavier than the right one. The urologist prescribed hetrazan and health okay tablets, but they aren't helping with the pain and discomfort. Should I consider surgery? What's the best type with the least complications?

Accepted Answer

While Grade 1 varicocele typically doesn't require surgery, if your symptoms persist, surgery might be considered. If the discomfort, testicle heaviness, and low hanging are persistent despite medication, exploring surgical options. Laparoscopic varicocelectomy is often the preferred approach due to its fewer complications and faster recovery

Question 3

I've been feeling a burning sensation right after peeing for the past week, and the tip of my penis has been itching. I also have itching in my underarms, between my thighs, and around my scrotum could this be a fungal or bacterial infection spreading from one area to another? I've been using soap and powder to manage it, but the itching at the tip won't go away. Also, I have a tight foreskin (phimosis) and noticed a red, curved line from my shaft to the head when I pulled it back. I'm really nervous about surgery and talking to my parents what can I do to stop the itching and manage the tight foreskin? Are there stretching exercises that could help?

Accepted Answer

Urethritis Bacteria or viruses usually cause the condition. Urethritis causes burning during urination, and it can also be painful to ejaculate. The condition might also cause : itchiness and stinging in the urethra.

I'm really struggling because I have a very small penis and it's making it really difficult to penetrate. This is affecting my sex life with my wife, and I'm feeling pretty upset about it. Can you offer any advice or solutions to help us?
