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

View allI'm 58 and have been married for over 30 years but dealing with a tight foreskin that won't retract, causing pain when forced. Sex is still possible with the foreskin, though it's affecting my sexual life. We have two healthy kids, but now I'm wondering if circumcision is needed at my age, especially since I've had type 2 diabetes and been on insulin for 20 years. What's your advice?
Maintaining good hygiene of the penis is very important if you are suffering from phimosis. Good hygiene practices help wash off the dirt and sweat and help in preventing the growth of microbes. The glans and the foreskin should be washed and dried gently. Cotton wipes and swabs can also be used for the purpose. This will prevent further worsening of the condition.However, if you are facing a lot of problems in your sexual life because of phimosis, consult a specialist

I've noticed that the glans on my penis looks kind of wrinkled, even when it's erect, and there's also a small bump near the opening on the glans. There's no pain, but it's kinda worrying me because I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what this might be?

My father has been dealing with urinary issues for a while now and his PSA levels are really high. His urine flow keeps getting weaker every day. Can this be treated with surgery or medication? What options do we have?
A high PSA level and a weak urine stream in men can be a sign of several conditions, including an enlarged prostate (BPH) or prostate cancer. It's crucial for your father to consult with a doctor or urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
