I'm worried because my penis has suddenly gotten swollen, and I dont exactly know why. I was traveling on a bus last night, and this morning I noticed it was a bit swollen. Now, it seems to have gotten worse. There's been no sexual activity or anything else that could explain it. Could something have bitten me, and what should I do about it? Can you help me out with some advice?

My 73-year-old father has phimosis, and his urologist recommended circumcision mainly for hygiene and to prevent future infections. He's had diabetes for 26 years but it's well-controlled (HBA1C 6.6), and his BP is stable. The doctor suggested conventional surgery under local anesthesia but didn't mention laser surgery. I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of both methods conventional cutting vs laser especially for someone his age with diabetes. Which one would be safer or more recommended in his case?

My husband has phimosis and we're too embarrassed to talk to our family about it. The doctor recommended circumcision can you give an idea of the total cost and what the surgery involves? Also, how long does it usually take to heal after the procedure?

Circumcision costs ₹10,000–₹25,000; involves 1-day procedure with 7–10 days of healing—consult in private for privacy.

I'm wondering if guys experience bleeding when they have sex for the first time. And if they do, how long does it usually take to heal? Id appreciate your insight on this.

It is possible for some boys to experience minor bleeding during their first sexual intercourse, especially if there is not enough lubrication or if there is some tearing of the skin. This usually heals on its own within a few days to a week. To help with the healing process and reduce discomfort, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and keep the area clean. If the bleeding persists or if there is excessive pain, it is important to seek medical advice
