How long does a circumcision surgery usually take and what's the recovery time like? I'm trying to plan when to get it done and want to know how much rest I'll need afterward. Also, how long does the actual procedure last?

Circumcision takes 20–30 minutes with a 5–7 day recovery; avoid strenuous activity during this time.

I've been experiencing all kinds of sexual dysfunction for about 10 years now, which I think might be due to heavy masturbation. I've just started taking Youvan gold plus capsules from Patanjali. How long do you think it'll take for me to see some improvement? Is there anything else you think I should be trying or adding to my routine?

My dad has a 24mm kidney stone and his bp and sugar levels are high right now The doctors recommended surgery in a week and said they can control bp and sugar with meds Is it really safe to do the surgery so soon or are there other ways to remove the stone without going under the knife

Yes,surgery is the only option.PCNL-percutaneous nephrolithotomy,URSL-uretroscopic lithotripsy and lastly RIRS--retrograde intrarenal surgery here a fexible scope is inserted into the kidney stone is located and fragmented into smaller pieces using a laser technolgy.But URSL is the procedure specifically used for removal of stones in the urethra and ureter by passing a flexxible tube and use of laser and fragmenting the stones and the small stones usually pass through urethra.
