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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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 a 14-year-old and I'm really worried because every time I talk to any girl, including my sister, a sticky liquid seems to leak from my penis. It happens both in class and at home, and makes my underwear get wet, especially at school. I'm really anxious about it. Is this some kind of disease? How can I deal with it?
You may be experiencing a condition called premature ejaculation, where there is an involuntary release of semen from the penis. It is not a disease, but it can be distressing. To treat this, you can consider medications such as SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) like Dapoxetine, which can help delay ejaculation. Additionally, behavioral techniques and therapy can also be beneficial in managing premature ejaculation. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm experiencing something unusual when I go to the bathroommy urine's getting split into two streams. It's flowing clear and everything, but it's kind of odd. A couple of days ago, I had this pain and sensation while peeing, and the doctor said it was an infection, so I took some medicine and that part seems better now. What I'm wondering is, should I be worried about this split thing, and what should I do about it?
The split urine stream, also known as urinary bifurcation, can be caused by various factors, including urethral stricture, bladder neck contracture, or prostate enlargement; given your recent urinary tract infection (UTI) and resolved symptoms, the split stream might be a temporary aftermath, but it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action.
