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've been having some trouble with my sex life since getting married, and it's becoming a real issue. I'm not really sure which type of doctor I should reach out to for this. Could you help point me in the right direction?
As a newly married couple experiencing sexual difficulties, consider consulting an Andrologist (male specialist) or a Sexologist, who can address issues like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or performance anxiety; for females, a Gynecologist or a Sex Therapist can help with concerns like vaginal pain, low libido, or orgasmic difficulties.

I recently had sex for the first time and I'm feeling a bit worried. Whenever I pull back the skin on my penis, it hurts, and I'm also concerned because it seems smaller than average. I think there might be a specific condition related to this. Could you tell me what might be going on and if theres anything I should do about it?
A study was done on it according to it the average length of a flaccid penis was 9.16 cm, whereas the average lengths of a flaccid stretched penis and an erect penis, respectively, were 13.24 and 13.12 cm, In addition, the average circumference was 9.31 cm for a flaccid penis and 11.66 cm for an erect penis... In addition to this concern, referred to as small penis anxiety, some men who are preoccupied and severely distressed with the size of their penis may be diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder...Penile shortening is a phenomenon that is associated with certain medical and surgical conditions. These conditions include prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy, Peyronie's disease and congenital anomalies. There is also some evidence that erectile dysfunction may be an independent risk factor for shortening... Standard measuringtechniques are necessary to determine the results of penile lengthening procedures...you need clinical examination to deal peeling issue...consult urologist they will examine and explain you about treatment modalities
