  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 bit worried about my recent urinalysis results. Everything seems normal except for the RBC and hemoglobin levels. A few years back, I had some issues with sand and crystals in my urine. Should I be concerned about the RBC levels? Is this harmful, or could it be related to my previous issues?

I'm 23 years old and I've noticed that my foreskin is attached to the tip of my penis, and it's painful when I try to pull it back. I'm really anxious about getting a circumcision, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to detach the foreskin. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Phimosis refers to the inability to retract the distal foreskin over the glans penis. Pathologic phimosis defines an inability to retract the foreskin after it was previously retractible or after puberty, usually secondary to distal scarring of the foreskin. Paraphimosis is the entrapment of a retracted foreskin behind the coronal sulcus. Paraphimosis is a disease of uncircumcised or partially circumcised males....Up to 95% of cases of phimosis have been shown to respond to application of topical steroids to the preputial orifice, although some studies have suggested that this response rate may decline several months after the regimen is completed. An initial attempt at medical intervention has been shown to reduce costs by 27.3% in comparison with primary circumcision as a treatment...consult nearest urologist they will help you further
