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 drink a lot of water every day but I pee very frequently like within an hour after drinking 500ml. Is this a urinary problem? If I don't drink water, I can go 5 hours without feeling the urge. My dad recently had prostate surgery at 75 could I have something similar? Also, how do I bring up checking my testicles with the doc since it's related to my urinary issues? Should I get any tests done to figure this out?

Peeing frequently is often the result of drinking too much fluid but can indicate conditions such as urethritis or urinary tract infections. Urinating is how the body removes waste fluids. Urine, which contains water, uric acid, urea, and toxins, stays in the bladder until it reaches a point of fullness.

While there's no medication or surgery specifically to reduce the size of a hydrocele if the doctor says it's not necessary, there might be some alternative approaches to manage the discomfort and improve your comfort during intimacy. It's crucial to consult with your doctor to discuss these options and ensure they are safe and appropriate for your situation.
