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.

I'm kind of worried because I've been masturbating a lot since I was young, and now I'm concerned that it might have drained my sexual power. Every time I do it, I seem to feel unusually tired for almost three days. Could this be why I'm also having pains in my legs and arms, and why I feel sleepy all the time, like my sleep just isn't enough anymore? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Frequent masturbation can sometimes lead to temporary fatigue and muscle soreness. It's important to give your body time to rest and recover, ensuring a healthy balance in your lifestyle. Prioritize regular exercise, a nutritious diet, and sufficient sleep to help restore your energy levels and overall well-being. If the symptoms persist, consider consulting a healthcare professional for further guidance.

I've been having some issues with my penile foreskinits really dry and cracked lately, and it hurts whenever I try to pull it up. A few days ago, I noticed red spots on the head of my penis, and it was really itchy. I tried using Dettol and warm water, which helped for a bit, but it's not a permanent fix. What might be causing this, and what should I do?

I've been noticing that whenever I drink water, I start feeling the need to urinate pretty quickly, within a few minutes, actually. It seems like the amount of urine depends on how much water I've had to drink. On average, I find myself going to the bathroom about 3-4 times after drinking. The color of my urine seems normal, nothing unusual. Also, I've been feeling some slight movements in my lower stomach. Could you help me understand what's going on?
