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.

Did having dengue fever six months ago have any long-term effects on my sex life? I've been worried if it might still be impacting my health in some way. I'm just not sure if that's why things feel a bit different now. Could there be any connection?

I've noticed that my penis size seems to have shrunk from 6 inches to about 5 inches, and I'm really concerned. I've gained around 7 kgs recently, and I also drink a few times a week. I quit smoking regularly about two months ago but used to smoke a lot before. Could these changes be affecting my size and stamina? What kind of diet or lifestyle changes should I consider to maybe get back to my original size and boost my stamina?

Is circumcision really necessary to prevent infections and improve sexual health I'm worried about the procedure and how it might affect me

Circumcision can offer benefits in preventing certain infections and improving sexual health, but it's not a universal necessity. It's generally recommended for those in areas with high HIV prevalence and can lower the risk of penile cancer and urinary tract infections. However, there are also potential risks associated with the procedure, and the decision to circumcise should be made on a case-by-case basis after considering individual factors and consulting with a healthcare provider.
