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.
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.
Effective Treatments for PE:
- Behavioral techniques and counseling.
- Topical anesthetics and medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.
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 having some discomfort with my penis. The head hurts when I touch it, and there's a burning feeling sometimes when I pee. Can you help me understand what's going on? Is it safe to have sex while I'm experiencing this?

Symptoms could indicate a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. It is important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. For the pain and burning sensation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, it is important to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and prescription of antibiotics if needed. Regarding having sex with these symptoms, it is advisable to avoid sexual activity until you have been evaluated and treated to prevent spreading any potential infection to your partner.

I'm dealing with premature ejaculation and it's really bothering me. Do you have any advice on how I can overcome this issue? I'm looking for effective suggestions or treatments.

Premature ejaculation can be addressed through a combination of lifestyle changes, therapy, and sometimes medication. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider or a urologist, who can evaluate your situation and suggest treatments such as behavioral techniques, counseling, or medications to help manage this condition effectively.
