I'm 27 and dealing with phimosis but really scared of surgery. Are there any other ways to treat it without going under the knife? What options do I have?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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've been feeling a burning sensation at the tip of my penis since having rough oral sex three days ago. There arent any sores, swelling, or marks, and I havent noticed any fluids or pus. I'm pretty stressed about it but wondering if it could just be some kind of soreness. What do you think?
It is possible that you are experiencing irritation or inflammation due to the rough oral sex. To help alleviate the burning sensation, you can try using an over-the-counter topical cream like lidocaine gel to numb the area. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Can fistula and hydrocele surgeries be done at the same time or is it better to do them separately I've heard mixed opinions and want to understand the risks and recovery process if both are done together
Fistula and hydrocele surgeries can be done together, but the best approach often depends on the individual case and surgeon's preference. Both surgeries are generally considered relatively low-risk, but combining them might slightly increase the risk of complications, such as infection or bleeding. The recovery process might also be slightly longer if both procedures are done concurrently.
