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.

Im a 21-year-old guy and I've been feeling a bit worried about my penis size. At my age and considering my height, which is 6 feet 1 inch, I can't help but feel like maybe it's smaller than it should be compared to others. Is there something I can do to improve it?

Stress and HIV can both cause rashes, but they have distinct characteristics. HIV rashes are often: Severe and widespread Associated with fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes Typically appear within 2-4 weeks after exposure Stress rashes, like yours, are often: Itchy and red Localized to specific areas Triggered by stress, anxiety, or emotional changes Given your recent stress and normal blood test results, it's more likely that your rash is stress-related.

I'm a 20-year-old guy dealing with Peyronies disease, likely from heavy gym workouts and sports. Doctors mentioned it might take a long time to heal or even require surgery. I'm curious if Ayurveda has any effective treatments for this condition what options are available?

I'm 26 and dealing with premature ejaculation, and sometimes I feel like I might have ED too. I saw an online homeopathic doctor before who prescribed Damia Plant 20 drops, three times daily, Acidphos 200 10 drops in the morning, and Lycopodium 200 10 drops in the evening. I've been on this for about a month and a half, but I'm not noticing much change. Can you give me some guidance on what I should do next?

It seems like the current homeopathic treatment you are taking for premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction is not showing significant improvement. In such cases, you may consider trying allopathic medications like Dapoxetine (Priligy) for premature ejaculation and Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) for erectile dysfunction. Consult a urologist for dosage and prescription.
