I had ZSR circumcision surgery on 22 July 2020 but the staple pin hasn't fully come off my penis yet. Trying to remove it with tools is really painful is there any home remedy or easier way to get it out without so much pain?

It's understandable that the staple pin hasn't come off naturally after 5 years. While it typically falls off within 10-14 days, it's best to consult your urologist for a professional assessment and removal, as attempting to do so at home can cause further pain and potentially complications

Will UTI go away on its own?

I've had this tight ring around my penis foreskin for years now - I can pull the skin back when soft but it hurts during erections and sex. Sometimes the skin even tears because of that tight band. It's not phimosis but I really don't want surgery - are there any medical treatments that could help with this?

While it sounds like you might have a condition similar to phimosis (tight foreskin), where the foreskin can't fully retract, and you're experiencing pain during erections, there are non-surgical options that can help. These include topical medications, gentle stretching exercises, and maintaining good hygiene.
