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 had varicocele surgery and I'm worried about long-term effects could it cause erection problems or other issues down the line? What should I expect after recovery?
Varicocele surgery can improve sexual function and reduce the risk of infertility, but it doesn't guarantee perfect recovery. While some men experience improved erectile function after surgery, others may still struggle with erectile dysfunction, according to research cited by Cleveland Clinic. After surgery, you should expect a period of recovery, potentially including pain, swelling, and bruising, which typically resolves within a few weeks

my frenulum feels tight when erect and my penis bends a bit when relaxed but the foreskin moves down fully a surgeon recommended frenuloplasty but I'm not sure whether to go for the stitched or stitchless option how painful is the surgery and how long does it take to recover
Frenuloplasty, a surgery to address a tight frenulum, can be performed with or without stitches, and the choice between stitched and stitchless options depends on individual factors and surgeon preference. The procedure itself is generally minor, with recovery times varying but typically taking a few weeks. While some pain and discomfort are possible after the procedure, it's not typically a painful surgery.

I'm dealing with this terrible pain because of a 3.5 mm kidney stone in my right kidney that has been hurting like crazy for the last two weeks. I met a doctor, but they just suggested painkiller injections and said that the stone is too small for an operation. They did recommend some blood tests, and I'm not sure what to make of the results. Is the pain only because of the kidney stone, or could it be something else? Should I consider surgery anyway, or are there medications or precautions that could help? Also, could you suggest a good nephrologist in Kolkata who might be able to help me? If theres a specific diet I should follow, Id love to know about that too. I'm really struggling here, and it's affecting my work a lot.
Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone. Avoid foods high in oxalates such as spinach, beets, and nuts, as they can contribute to the formation of kidney stones. As for the abnormal blood test results, your elevated WBC count and low MCHC may indicate an infection. It would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible antibiotic treatment if deemed necessary. You can request your doctor to prescribe moderate to strong painkillers to achieve relief from pain.
