Had circumcision surgery a month ago on May 5th but still can't wear underwear directly using cotton to cover it. The stitches haven't dissolved yet and there's high sensitivity in the open area, plus some pain when touching the stitches. How much longer until it heals completely and I can get back to normal?

Wear loose clothing for example: pyjamas, tracksuit bottoms for the first few days. It is advisable to try and avoid wearing underwear, do so until you feel comfortable enough to resume wearing them. It is advisable especially if your work is heavy (manual, driving) to stay off work for at least one week.

View allI'm dealing with some sexual issues and I'm really unsure about which route to take for treatment. Should I consider homeopathy or maybe ayurvedic methods? Really need some guidance on this.
Both Homeopathy and Ayurveda offer effective treatments for sexual health issues, but the best approach depends on your specific condition, medical history, and personal preferences; consider consulting a qualified practitioner from either field, as Homeopathy focuses on individualized remedies, whereas Ayurveda emphasizes holistic lifestyle changes, diet, and herbal supplements to address sexual health concerns.

I've been having this issue for a couple of months now where my penis has lost its sensitivity, and I am not feeling any pleasure from things that used to excite me visually or in real life. Although I can still get an erection when I masturbate, it's like I can't get a strong erection at any other time, sometimes only semi-hard. I started noticing this after doing some jelqing exercises, when suddenly everything felt off, so I stopped. There's this vein under my penis that's turned reddish, too. I usually masturbate only every 7 to 10 days. I'm unmarried and unemployed, and I'm really worried about this. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how I can get back to how things were before?
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing. It sounds like you may be dealing with some nerve sensitivity issues or vascular changes, possibly triggered by excessive or improper exercise. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional, such as a urologist, who can conduct a thorough evaluation and guide you on appropriate treatments or lifestyle adjustments to restore normal function.
