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

I have grade 2 varicocele on the left side and grade 1 on the right, with a sperm count of 8 million/ml and very low motility at 10% and morphology at 1%. I'm considering surgery but unsure which method is better laparoscopic or microsurgery. What's the difference between these two in terms of repairing varicocele, and which one would be more suitable for my condition?

How long after laparoscopic mesh rectopexy surgery for rectal prolapse should I expect to regain normal ejaculation and erection? I had the surgery on January 18th and still can't ejaculate or get a full erection. My surgeon mentioned it might take 8-12 weeks is that accurate? Why does this happen and will I recover fully?
