  1. Circumcision and Premature Ejaculation:

    • Circumcision is not a reliable or recommended treatment for premature ejaculation (PE).
    • PE involves ejaculating sooner than desired and can have complex causes, including psychological and medical factors.
  2. Understanding Circumcision:

    • It involves the surgical removal of the foreskin, often for medical, cultural, or religious reasons.
    • Scientific evidence does not support it as a cure for PE.
  3. Effective Treatments for PE:

    • Behavioral techniques and counseling.
    • Topical anesthetics and medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.
  4. Recommendation:

    • Consult a urologist or sexual health specialist for personalized advice and treatment options. Avoid considering circumcision solely as a solution for PE without professional guidance.

I'm a 25-year-old woman who just got married, and my husband is 26. We're not planning to have a baby for at least three more years. However, my husband has been experiencing premature ejaculation. Could this lead to pregnancy? What steps can we take to address this, and what type of protection should I consider?

Yes, premature ejaculation can still lead to pregnancy, as sperm can be present in pre-ejaculatory fluids; to manage this, consider consulting a urologist or sexologist for guidance on treating premature ejaculation, and in the meantime, use condoms or other barrier methods as a reliable form of birth control, and consider emergency contraception like Plan B or i-Pill if you have unprotected sex.

I'm really worried about this pain in my right testicle after I masturbate. I usually keep it to once or twice a week, so I don't think I'm overdoing it. I'm also dealing with premature ejaculation and I'm wondering if there's something natural I can try to help with both issues. Any advice?

You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a cold pack to the area may help reduce inflammation and pain. Make sure to rest and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. For premature ejaculation, you can try natural remedies such as behavioral techniques (such as the start-stop technique or the squeeze technique), pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises), and certain herbs like ashwagandha or ginseng. You can also consider using lidocaine sprays or condoms to reduce sensitivity. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm wondering if masturbating 5 to 6 times a month could be bad for my health. Does it have any effect on my bodybuilding efforts or my sperm count? Could it possibly lead to major issues later on? I'm really curious about whether this is healthy or if I need to change anything.

no problem
