I had a circumcision done about 3 weeks ago and it seems like it's healed. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have intercourse now? How long should I wait before it's safe to do so after the procedure?

It's great to hear that your circumcision has healed. Typically, it's recommended to wait around 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure to ensure full healing before engaging in intercourse. However, if you're feeling comfortable and have no pain or discomfort, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor to ensure everything is healing well before proceeding.

Question

I'm a 36-year-old woman dealing with a 5 mm kidney stone. I'm wondering if Neeri tablets can help me get rid of it, and how long it might take for the stone to pass if I start using them.

I'm dealing with an ongoing infection under my foreskin and on the top of my penis. I've been seeing a dermatologist for a couple of months, and while it got better at first, the infection hasn't completely gone away and seems to have gotten worse again. Should I stick with the dermatologist, or is it time to see a urologist? Any advice on what I should do next?

Question

I'm noticing that my penis curves to the left and I'm a bit concerned about it. I was wondering if switching to my right hand for masturbation might help straighten it out? Does the hand I use actually affect the curvature? Would love some guidance on this.
