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.

I'm a bit concerned about my urine test results which show pus cells at 34 hpf. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it just normal?

If you don't have any lower abdominal pain, burning sensation during micturation, nausea and fever, then this reading can be considered normal as these numbers are not significant until you have symptoms associated with it but the report is generally normal.

I'm from Dibrugarh and think I might have a short frenulum. I can retract my foreskin but it doesn't feel quite normal. Sex isn't painful or anything, but after reading up online, I'm wondering if frenuloplasty could make things more comfortable. Should I consider surgery or is it fine as long as it's not causing issues?

I'm 26 and I've been masturbating regularly since I was 16. Lately, I've noticed that my penis seems smaller and it won't get erect unless I'm watching porn or engaging in phone sex. I'm really worried about this and I'm not sure what to do. Could this be a real problem? Any advice would be appreciated.

It's common to develop certain habits like relying on porn or phone sex for arousal, which can affect natural stimulation. This doesn't mean permanent damage. Try reducing reliance on porn gradually, focus on healthy lifestyle changes, and consult a doctor or therapist for personalized guidance to address concerns about erectile health and confidence.
