Kidney stone surgeries vary in duration and can potentially lead to kidney failure if left untreated. The surgery itself typically takes between 20 and 45 minutes, but recovery time can vary. Left untreated, kidney stones can cause chronic kidney disease and kidney failure

Question

I had ZSR circumcision surgery on 22nd February and all the staples along with the silicon ring have fallen off except one small part still hanging and attached to the skin. It hurts a little when I try to remove it so I'm scared pulling it might cause problems. Can I safely pull it off? Also, am I okay to resume sexual activities like intercourse or masturbation now?

Question

I'm really worried about something that happened yesterday. After I masturbated and ejaculated, my penis went numb and shrank. The foreskin got really loose, and it feels super short and cold now. I can't quite feel it right, and I'm also feeling really dizzy and depressed. I'm attaching a picture of my penis for you to check. Is there something wrong, and can it be fixed? Please let me know what's happening and what I should do.
