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.

My penis curves to the left at about a 45-degree angle can medicines help straighten it without needing surgery? I'm really worried about this and want to avoid surgery if possible. What options do I have?
If your penis curves to the left at a 45-degree angle, and you want to avoid surgery, you have several nonsurgical treatment options, including medications and devices. Medications like collagenase and verapamil, when injected into the penis, can help break down scar tissue and improve the curve. Traction devices, like vacuum erection devices or penile traction devices, can also help straighten the penis over time by gently stretching it.
