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 found out I have an epididymal cyst from an ultrasound and allopathic doctors are recommending surgery but I'm curious if there are any effective ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments instead
While surgery is the standard treatment for epididymal cysts, Ayurveda and homeopathy offer alternative approaches. Ayurveda focuses on addressing the root causes of the cyst, potentially using herbal remedies and lifestyle adjustments. Homeopathy considers individual symptoms and constitution, potentially using specific remedies to shrink the cyst. However, it's important to consult with qualified practitioners and consider the potential benefits and limitations of each approach

I'm noticing this red spot on the inner upper side of my penis glans. It doesn't hurt or itch, but I've observed it gets darker red after I masturbate or have sex, and otherwise, it just stays light red. Is this something I should be worried about?
Consult to a urologist for physical examination to be done.

I'm really concerned because I found out my sperm mortality rate is zero, even though my sperm count seems to be okay. On top of that, my testosterone levels are pretty low. Could you suggest any medicines, supplements, or natural ways to boost the sperm mortality?
To increase sperm motility naturally and with supplements, you can consider taking supplements like Coenzyme Q10, L-carnitine, and vitamin E. These supplements have been shown to improve sperm motility. Additionally, incorporating foods rich in antioxidants such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds can also help improve sperm motility. In terms of medications, you can consider using brands like Clomid or hCG injections, which can help boost testosterone levels and improve sperm motility. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement or medication regimen.
