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?

I had right inguinal hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh on the right side about 3 months ago but I'm still having pain in the areas marked with green dots in the photo I attached - is this normal or should I be concerned about the pain continuing this long after surgery

While some pain after hernia and varicocele surgery is normal, persistent pain three months post-surgery, especially in the areas marked in your photo, should be evaluated by your doctor. Though pain can persist for a few months, lasting pain beyond that is considered chronic and may indicate complications like nerve damage or inflammation.

I'm a bit concerned because I masturbated today but didn't ejaculate any sperm, though it felt like I did. I recently found out I have a 5mm kidney stone and have been on medication for a couple of days. Could the meds or the stone be affecting this, or should I be worried about something else?

Thats not related to renal stone,but do not do that frequently try to avoid that habbit and lead healthy lifestyle
