Had a circumcision surgery last Saturday on 14 April but since yesterday I noticed some pus in the wound and it hurts when I try to clean it. Started taking ceftum 500 twice a day but not sure if washing with warm water will help or make the pus worse

It's important to seek medical advice immediately if you're experiencing pus and pain in a circumcision wound. While you're taking Ceftum, it's recommended to gently clean the area with warm water to help manage the infection, but you should not scrub or use harsh soaps. Warm water can help remove debris and promote drainage, but it's crucial to follow the guidance of your doctor, who may have specific instructions for wound care after circumcision.

I have bilateral varicocele with grade 12.6mm on one side and 2.3mm on the other and I really don't want to go through surgery Has anyone successfully treated varicocele with homeopathic medicines Would love to see some ultrasound reports from patients who've had positive results

How Are Varicoceles Treated? Most varicoceles need no special treatment. A varicocele is usually harmless and more than likely won't affect a guy's ability to father a child later in life. But if there is any pain and swelling, the doctor may prescribe an anti-inflammatory medicine to relieve it.

I'm dealing with a problem related to my penis. When it gets erect, the foreskin tends to fit tightly just below the top. I've been considering circumcision to remove some of the foreskin. I'm not sure who I should consult in Ahmedabad or which clinic to visit for this. Could you give me some guidance or advice?
