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 allI've been diagnosed with varicocele and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure whether to go for open surgery or embolization which one has better recovery and fewer risks
Varicocele embolization typically offers a shorter recovery time and fewer risks compared to open varicocele surgery. Embolization, a minimally invasive procedure, has a recovery period of 1-2 days, while open surgery requires 2-4 weeks of recovery. Additionally, embolization has a lower risk of complications like testicular loss, hydrocele formation, and nerve injury compared to surgery.

I recently tried to have sex with my girlfriend, but after 20 minutes, I couldn't seem to get my penis into her vagina. We both gave it our best shot, but it just wouldn't go in. Normally, my penis gets hard, but when it came time to insert, it was small and not hard. What could be going on here?
