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 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...

I have a bent penis and want to reduce the curvature permanently without surgery. Does homeopathy actually work for this or is it not effective?
Homeopathic remedies are not scientifically proven to effectively reduce penile curvature caused by Peyronie's disease. While some homeopathic practitioners may claim to have success, there is no strong evidence to support their effectiveness. Peyronie's disease is a condition where scar tissue (plaques) develops in the penis, causing curvature and pain.
