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.

View allI've been dealing with some issues related to urination and I'm worried it might be connected to my past habits. I started masturbating when I was 16, but I've stopped for over a year now. Even so, I'm experiencing night falls and a delay in urination. Could this be related to what I used to do, or might there be another cause? I'm really concerned and wondering what steps I should take to address this.
It's good that you've stopped the habit, but it may take time for your body to fully adjust. Difficulty with urination and nightfall can sometimes be related to underlying factors like stress, hormonal changes, or prostate health. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms and discuss potential treatment options.

I've been wondering about something and could really use some guidance. I'm 17 now, and I've been masturbating for around 2 years. Ive heard that semen contains zinc, and I'm worried if this could actually lower testosterone levels over time. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just a myth?
No, masturbation does not lower testosterone levels

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed some small white lumps in my semen when I ejaculate after masturbating. Can anyone help me figure out what might be going on?
These small lumps you are noticing in your semen could be due to a few different reasons. One possibility is that they are sperm clumps, which can be normal and not a cause for concern. However, if these lumps are accompanied by pain, swelling, or changes in your semen consistency, it could be a sign of an underlying issue such as an infection or inflammation of the prostate or seminal vesicles. I recommend you to consult a doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.
