Yes, phimosis can often be treated without surgery, especially in mild to moderate cases. Non-surgical options include steroid creams and gentle stretching techniques. In some cases, more aggressive dilations using a balloon dilator might be needed. If these methods fail or the phimosis is severe, surgery (circumcision) may be recommended.

I've been feeling my testicles getting hot most of the time, especially when I'm sitting. There's no itching or redness, just this warmth that's got me a bit worried. I've only been married for about 2.5 months. Could this be something serious, or is it just a normal thing?

sounds like you may be experiencing some discomfort in your testicles. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as increased blood flow, inflammation, or infection. Since you mentioned no itching or redness, it is less likely to be a fungal infection. Additionally, wearing loose-fitting underwear and avoiding prolonged sitting may also help alleviate the symptoms. If the discomfort persists or worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
