I'm really worried because I'm diabetic with an FBS of 200 and I've noticed that I'm getting sensitive areas under the foreskin, which is prominent after intercourse. I'm uncircumcised and have been using Surbraz TZ cream for about two years to help subside the cuts, but it keeps recurring. My routine urine tests always come back normal, but sometimes my wife ends up with a UTI after we've been intimate. We've tried using Zocon T, and it helps temporarily, but the symptoms keep returning. I've seen a lot of skin and VD specialists, but no one has been able to provide a solution. I understand this might be related to my diabetes, but there's got to be some kind of cure or long-term solution, right? What should I do next?

Consider consulting a urologist or a diabetes specialist for personalized guidance, as your symptoms suggest a possible connection to balanitis, a common condition in uncircumcised diabetic men, characterized by inflammation and irritation under the foreskin; in addition to managing your diabetes, practicing good genital hygiene, and using topical creams like Surfraz TZ, explore other treatment options like circumcision, laser therapy, or antifungal medications, and address your wife's recurrent UTIs through a urologist or gynecologist to prevent further complications.

I've noticed that my left testicle is quite a bit larger than my right one. It doesn't hurt or anything, but I'm not sure if this is something normal or if I should be worried about it. Should I be looking to see a doctor about this, and if so, what kind of specialist should I reach out to?

A size difference between testicles is relatively common and usually not a cause for concern

it's been 6 days since my circumcision but there's still swelling and a ring-like thing around the penis head - how long until everything looks normal again

Proper healing can take several weeks. In the initial days after circumcision, the skin around the penis may appear red and swollen. As healing takes place, redness will fade and swelling will subside. Likewise, any scar tissue that's raised or bumpy in the first days and weeks after the surgery should shrink.

I ejaculate within 2 minutes of masturbation. Is this abnormal?

Each person reach their orgasm on different time. The average time from the beginning of intercourse to ejaculation is about five minutes. If it happens before 1 minute then it's usually considered as pre mature ejaculation which has many reasons.
