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.

View allIs it safe to have sex if my partner has phimosis where only a small part of the head is visible Should we consider surgery or are there other options
It's possible to have sex with phimosis, even if only a small part of the head is visible, but it might be more comfortable or cause less discomfort with some precautions. Surgery might be an option if phimosis causes pain, irritation, or complications like infection

I've had phimosis since birth and I'm not sure how to treat it. Can you tell me what works better steroid creams or surgery? I live in Bangalore and would like to know the best option for me.
Steroid creams work in early phimosis—if ineffective, surgery is best; consult a dermatologist or urologist in Bangalore.

I had varicocele surgery 10 years ago but still get occasional pain in my testicles - is this normal or could the veins have come back
It's possible for occasional testicle pain to persist even after a varicocele surgery. While the surgery aims to fix the dilated veins, it's not always a complete cure, and some pain can be related to residual or recurrent varicocele, nerve irritation, or other factors. It's also possible that your pain has a different origin than the varicocele itself.
