Can you help me understand why I'm frequently getting these pimple-like bumps or white pops on my urethra? It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure what's causing it.

I have phimosis and consulted a doctor on Practo who recommended daily exercises. I tried them for a few days but didn't see any improvement. The doctor also advised against surgery. Should I keep doing the same exercises for longer or try phimosis rings available online? What treatment would you suggest?

circumcision is the surgery advised to the patient.

I've been having this dull burning feeling at the top of my penis after I pee and I'm sure it's not an STD since I've never been married or had sex. There's also a slight burning in the hairy area above my penis on the outside. Do you have any idea what this could be or how I can get rid of it? I've been taking homeopathic medicine for internal hemorrhoidscould that be causing the problem?

The dull burning sensation youre experiencing could be due to mild irritation or an inflammation in the area, possibly from sweating or friction. Its good that you're being cautious, but homeopathy for hemorrhoids shouldnt affect this. Try to keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight clothing, and use a soothing cream like aloe vera. If it persists or worsens, a doctors consultation would be helpful.
