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.

My cousin has a liver stone and we're wondering if robotic surgery could be an option for this. We're based in Delhi and have all the test reports ready. Could you advise if this condition might need robotic surgery and if we should bring the patient along with the reports for a consultation?

Liver stone can be treated by ERCP or laparoscopic/robotic surgery if accessible; bring all reports to GI surgeon in Delhi for confirmation.

I'm thinking about getting circumcised mainly for hygiene and how it looks but I'm a bit nervous about the procedure. Can you tell me more about bloodless circumcision and what the cost might be? I've heard mixed things and want to understand what to expect.

I've noticed that the skin on the upper part of my penis doesn't open up properly, and the last time I had sex, it started bleeding and was really painful. I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice?

It sounds like you may have experienced a condition called **phimosis**, where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully. It's important to avoid any further trauma to the area. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider, preferably a urologist, for a proper examination and treatment options, which may include topical treatments or, in some cases, a minor surgical procedure.
