I'm 28 and about to get married but I have a foreskin that doesn't retract. There's no infection, but my friends suggested sunthi surgery. I'm scared about the procedure can this be fixed with medicines instead? If I need surgery, where should I go and how much does it usually cost? Also how many days will recovery take

Circumcision is a very safe procedure. Certain ointments have been tried but in my experience I can tell you that they don't actually work. So better to go for circumcision. It just requires a maximum of 1 day hospitalisation. Cost would differ from hospital to hospital.

I'm dealing with phimosis and wondering if surgery is the only solution or if there are other effective ways to treat it. What would you recommend for managing this condition?
Phimosis, where the foreskin cannot be retracted, can be managed with both non-surgical and surgical approaches. Non-surgical options include topical steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, and good hygiene practices. Surgery, such as circumcision or preputioplasty, may be considered for more severe cases or if non-surgical treatments fail.

I'm feeling like there's sperm stuck in my penis and it sometimes happens with urine. My penis is flaccid when this occurs. After I pee, there's a burning sensation too. I'm really worried about this, can you tell me what's going on?
The symptoms you're describingfeeling of sperm stuck, burning sensation after urination, and discomfort in the flaccid statecould indicate a possible urinary tract infection (UTI), prostatitis, or inflammation of the urethra. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation, including urine tests and potentially further examination, to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment.
