I was trimming the hair on my testicle, and I accidentally cut my right testis, which started bleeding immediately. I used turmeric powder, and the bleeding stopped, and there's no pain now. I'm just worried if this might cause any problems later on. Could you let me know if there's anything I should watch out for or do to prevent any future issues?

While trimming hair on your testicle, you got a cut on your right testis and bleeding started immediately. You applied turmeric powder and the bleeding stopped, and there is no pain. Using turmeric powder for minor cuts can help with its antiseptic properties. However, it is important to keep the area clean to prevent infection. If you notice any signs of infection such as increasing pain, redness, swelling, or discharge, you should seek medical attention. In this case, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Apply a small amount of Neosporin on the cut twice a day for a few days.

Should we be concerned about this?

I've been diagnosed with phimosis and need surgery soon which option is safer and better, laser or ZSR? I'm really worried and want to make the right choice quickly.

Laser circumcision is actually the permanent solution for phimosis. So, if your doctor recommends you undergoing laser circumcision or stapler circumcision, be assured that it is the safest procedure and inflicts minimal pain
