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.

Can plastic surgery help repair damaged nerves in the penis if they haven't healed on their own

Yes, in some cases, plastic surgery, particularly nerve grafting, can help repair damaged nerves in the penis if they haven't healed on their own, and can potentially restore erectile function. However, nerve damage may be irreversible in some instances, and the success of surgical repair depends on the extent and cause of the damage.

I've had phimosis since I was born and I'm really worried about it. Is there any way to treat it without going through surgery? I'm not sure what options are out there and I'd like to avoid an operation if possible. Can you suggest any non-surgical treatments that actually work?

Phimosis can be treated with steroid creams like betamethasone plus stretching; if no improvement in weeks, circumcision is safest permanent option.
