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'm worried because I ejaculate too early and I'm concerned my penis might be smaller and weaker than normal. It's less than 5 inches, which is making me anxious. Can you advise on whether this is something I should be really worried about or if there are any ways to improve this situation?
It's important to know that many factors, including anxiety and stress, can affect sexual performance and perception of body size. If you're concerned about premature ejaculation or erectile strength, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider who can guide you on potential treatments, therapy, and lifestyle changes to improve both physical and mental well-being.

My pee hole got torn and it's not healing even though there's no pain. Should I see a sexologist or get penis surgery to fix this? It's been like this for a while and I'm worried it won't heal on its own.
would need a picture and an examination

I've been having some pain in my left testicle on and off. What could be causing this?
Pain in the left testicle that comes and goes can be caused by various factors, such as **muscle strain**, **epididymitis** (inflammation of the epididymis), or even **testicular torsion**, although the latter is typically more sudden and severe. If the pain persists or is accompanied by swelling or other symptoms, it's important to see a healthcare provider for an evaluation and to rule out any serious conditions.
