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 just curious about how often my wife and I can have sex in a month without causing any negative effects on our bodies now or in the future. I want to make sure we're both staying healthy, so how frequently is considered safe?
Having a healthy sexual relationship with your partner is important for overall well-being. There is no specific number of times that is considered ideal for sexual activity in a month as it varies for each couple. It is important to listen to your body and communicate openly with your partner to ensure that both of you are comfortable and enjoying the intimacy. As long as both partners are consenting and comfortable, there is no set limit on how many times you can engage in sexual activity in a month.

I'm dealing with a needle-like pinch and hot sensations on the edges of my scrotum, and it's been really concerning. Plus, when I sit on a bike or even a chair, my right thigh and lower abdomen get painful. I've had a sonography done, and there's no hernia, which is a relief, but still confusing. I went to a neurologist who gave me Maxmela Forte to help, and it does reduce the pain a bit, but I still feel uneasy. This has been going on for about a month now, and I'm just not sure what's going on or what else I should be doing. Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to get more relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing nerve-related symptoms in your scrotum edges, right thigh, and lower abdomen. The medication Maxmela Forte prescribed by the neurologist contains a combination of Pregabalin and Methylcobalamin, which helps in reducing nerve pain and discomfort. However, since you are still experiencing uneasiness, I recommend discussing with your doctor about adding a medication like Gabapentin (brand name Neurontin) at a starting dose of 300mg, gradually increasing as needed for better control of nerve-related symptoms. Additionally, you may benefit from physical therapy to address any underlying musculoskeletal issues contributing to your symptoms.
