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 foreskin is really tight and I can't pull it back all the way. I don't want surgery are there any creams or ointments that can help loosen it quickly?

Yes, certain creams and ointments, often containing steroids, can help loosen a tight foreskin (phimosis) and make it easier to retract without surgery. Topical steroids like betamethasone valerate, fluticasone propionate, hydrocortisone, or triamcinolone can soften and loosen the skin. These creams are often used in conjunction with gentle stretching exercises

I've been feeling this odd heat in one of my testicles for the last couple of days, almost like a mild inflammation, and it's starting to worry me. Could you let me know what's going on?

It sounds like you might be experiencing mild inflammation or discomfort in your testicle. This could be due to various causes like infection, inflammation, or injury. I recommend seeing a doctor for a proper evaluation to rule out conditions like epididymitis or orchitis and to get the appropriate treatment.

I have a 5mm calculus in my right upper ureter about 5cm below the pelviureteric junction. Is there any chance it can pass on its own without surgery? Are there any medicines that could help with this?

A 5mm kidney stone in the ureter has a decent chance of passing on its own, but there's no guarantee. While some stones can pass naturally, others may get stuck and cause complications. There are also medicines that can aid in passing stones, but their effectiveness can vary
