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?

If it‚Äôs not falling off naturally, leave it‚Äîdon‚Äôt pull; see your surgeon for removal and resume sex only after complete healing.

I'm experiencing cracks on my foreskin after having sex, and sometimes they last for a few days before coming back after intercourse. I've noticed a whitish-grey discharge building up on my foreskin and the head of my penis. It goes away after washing, but then it returns the next day. The skin around the head seems like it might have an infection. I've tried using coconut oil and curd since I read online that it might be a fungal or yeast infection. Also, my wife had a UTI with white discharge recently. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and suggest a possible treatment?

The symptoms suggest a possible yeast infection (candidiasis) or balanitis, often linked to infections like UTI in partners. Avoid home remedies like coconut oil, as they may worsen irritation. Wash gently with warm water, avoid soaps, and consider an antifungal cream after consulting a Dr. Both you and your wife may benefit from a medical check-up to address potential infection and prevent recurrence.
