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 really worried about some nerve damage in my penis that's happened because of too much masturbation in the past. Is there a way to heal it naturally through exercises and diet without using medicine? What steps should I take, and what should I focus on for recovery?
While it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, you can try incorporating foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals into your diet to support nerve health. Foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can be beneficial. Additionally, regular exercise, such as pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), yoga, and cardiovascular workouts, can help improve blood flow and nerve function in the pelvic area. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including getting enough sleep, managing stress, and avoiding alcohol and tobacco.

I'm a 30-year-old guy who's not married yet, and I've been struggling with a small penis and not being able to last long. It's been really affecting my confidence and I'm worried about my future relationships. Is there any way I can get help with this?
The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches. There's more variation in the size of flaccid penises. Some guys are genuinely smaller than that. In rare cases, genetics and hormone problems cause a condition called micropenis -- an erect penis of under 3 inches. Sometimes Peyronie's disease can reduce a guy's size. Losing weight will reveal more of that hidden shaft that's buried beneath belly fat. It doesn't actually increase your size, but it will look that way...

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.
