I'm 28 and considering circumcision. I'm a bit worried about whether there might be any impact on size after the procedure. Also, what are the benefits of getting circumcised at this age? Any insights would be really helpful.

Circumcision at the age of 28 is generally safe and can have several benefits. The procedure can help reduce the risk of certain sexually transmitted infections, such as HIV. It may also lower the risk of urinary tract infections and penile cancer. In terms of size effect, circumcision does not have a significant impact on penile size. The most common pros of circumcision include improved hygiene, decreased risk of infections, and potential reduction in the risk of certain medical conditions. If you decide to undergo circumcision at the age of 28, it is important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I've been struggling with premature ejaculation that's really impacting my relationship with my wife. I'm really eager to find remedies that can cure this problem quickly and permanently. Can alternative medicines be effective for this? I need to improve fast because it's taking a toll on my marriage.

Premature ejaculation (PE) can be treated through a combination of behavioral therapy, medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and exercises like the "stop-start" method. While alternative medicines like herbal remedies may provide temporary relief, consulting with a doctor for a personalized treatment plan is key to achieving long-term results.

I'm wondering if masturbating 5 to 6 times a month could be bad for my health. Does it have any effect on my bodybuilding efforts or my sperm count? Could it possibly lead to major issues later on? I'm really curious about whether this is healthy or if I need to change anything.

I had a BPH surgery in 2006 that went wrong and left me with uncontrollable incontinence after my sphincter was accidentally cut. In 2007, an Indian-American surgeon performed a sling surgery in Hyderabad, which helped for a while. But now the problem is back even small movements cause urine leakage. Should I consider another sling surgery or are there other options?

it's common that sling operation can give relief to few years,,, and there is always a chance of recurrence after sling surgery, either due to failure of sling operation or bladder over activity, there are other options available to control urinary incontinence or sling operation can be repeated but second time it's little complicated procedure. Consult a urologist for further help.
