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?

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.

I'm a 14-year-old and I'm really worried because every time I talk to any girl, including my sister, a sticky liquid seems to leak from my penis. It happens both in class and at home, and makes my underwear get wet, especially at school. I'm really anxious about it. Is this some kind of disease? How can I deal with it?

You may be experiencing a condition called premature ejaculation, where there is an involuntary release of semen from the penis. It is not a disease, but it can be distressing. To treat this, you can consider medications such as SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) like Dapoxetine, which can help delay ejaculation. Additionally, behavioral techniques and therapy can also be beneficial in managing premature ejaculation. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm interested in getting a Shilajit product but feel a bit confused about which brand to choose. Also, I'm wondering whether the capsule form or liquid form would be better for boosting sexual health, improving immunity, and increasing stamina. Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

Shilajit is a potent herbal supplement often used for boosting stamina, immunity, and sexual health. The best form depends on personal preference; liquid Shilajit is typically more bioavailable, but capsules offer convenience. When choosing a brand, look for one that offers pure, sustainably sourced Shilajit with third-party testing for quality and safety.
