Had a normal circumcision 8 days ago but there's still swelling and a ring-like feeling around the head of my penis. How much longer will the pain and swelling last?

I've had an undescended right testicle since birth and now at 22, I've been having mild lower right abdomen pain for the last 23 days. The ultrasound didn't show appendix or kidney stone issues, but my doctor recommended surgery for the undescended testicle. Is the surgery safe at my age? What's the usual cost and recovery time?

Yes, orchiopexy (surgery to fix an undescended testicle) can be performed safely at your age, though ideally it's done earlier in childhood. The surgery is generally considered safe and effective in adults as well, but there might be a slightly increased risk of complications due to the testicle's longer time outside the scrotum. The cost can vary widely, but expect it to be in the range of Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 70,000

Sometimes after I masturbate and then pee, I feel really uncomfortable because the urge to pee keeps coming back over and over. It usually lasts about 10 to 15 minutes and makes me go to the bathroom multiple times. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

Yes it is normal drink plenty of water.
