Is circumcision really necessary to prevent infections and improve sexual health I'm worried about the procedure and how it might affect me
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allHey, so my dad's testicles started bleeding even though he didn't get hurt or anything. We noticed his blood pressure was really high at 19090 mmHg when we went for first aid. They said a vein might have burst, causing the bleeding. Could his high blood pressure be the reason for this? Also, what should we do next? Should we go see a doctor straight away or anything else we need to consider?
Yes, high blood pressure (19090 mmHg) can cause a varicocele (enlarged vein) to rupture, leading to testicular bleeding; immediate medical attention is crucial to rule out other potential causes, such as testicular torsion or tumor, and to prevent further complications.
