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’s not falling off naturally, leave it—don’t pull; see your surgeon for removal and resume sex only after complete healing.

View allI've had an undescended right testicle since birth and now at 22, I've been having mild lower right abdomen pain for the last 23 days. The ultrasound didn't show appendix or kidney stone issues, but my doctor recommended surgery for the undescended testicle. Is the surgery safe at my age? What's the usual cost and recovery time?
Yes, orchiopexy (surgery to fix an undescended testicle) can be performed safely at your age, though ideally it's done earlier in childhood. The surgery is generally considered safe and effective in adults as well, but there might be a slightly increased risk of complications due to the testicle's longer time outside the scrotum. The cost can vary widely, but expect it to be in the range of Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 70,000

I think I might have a penile skin bridge issue based on what I read online my skin doesn't retract properly and when it does go back past the glans it hurts a lot is there any way to fix this without surgery
If you're experiencing phimosis and want to avoid surgery, there are several non-surgical options you can explore. These include topical steroid creams, stretching exercises, good hygiene practices, and in some cases, balloon dilation.

I'm noticing that my right testicle is swollen and it's causing some pain. It's also hanging lower than my left one. I'm not sure if this is something I should be worried about. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?
without any delay get an USG SCROTUM done and visit urologist for appropriate management
