I'm 32 and considering circumcision but worried about how it might affect erections and sensitivity afterward will there be any long-term changes in those areas
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Circumcision in adulthood generally does not lead to significant, long-term negative changes in erectile function or sensitivity. Studies have shown that most men report no noticeable difference in these areas after circumcision, and some even report increased sensitivity and research from the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

View allI have a varicocele measuring 2.5 mm on the right side and 3.2 mm on the left side. Can you suggest any effective allopathic or ayurvedic medicines for this? Is it possible to treat without surgery?
Varicocele can often be managed conservatively; both allopathic and Ayurvedic options may help relieve symptoms, but surgery may be needed if there's infertility or severe discomfort.

I've been wondering about something that's been stressing me out a bit. So, I started masturbating when I was young but stopped when I was 15, and I was still a virgin then. I picked it up again at 18 after a three-year break. Initially, I tried to delay ejaculation, but after a few weeks, I started having issues. I'm going to the bathroom way more often, and I feel some pain in my penis and testicles. Even right after urinating, I still get this urgent feeling like I need to go again. Add to this, I lost my virginity and noticed that even after doing it quite a few times, I can't hold my ejaculation for more than a minute. I still masturbate regularly 'cause I can't really control the urge, and I'm really concerned. I can't help but wonder if these issues could be connected to my masturbation habits or not. Is this something that might mess with my sex life in the future, like after getting married? Any advice or solutions would be really appreciated.
Your issues with frequent urination and rapid ejaculation may be interrelated and potentially linked to your masturbation habits, particularly the practice of holding back ejaculation, which can lead to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, prostate issues, and ejaculatory control problems; to address these issues, consider consulting a urologist or a sex therapist who can help you develop healthier masturbation habits, improve pelvic floor muscle function, and provide guidance on managing ejaculation and urinary frequency, which will be beneficial for your future sex life, including after marriage.

I'm currently weighing 67 kg and have been on the AKT4 kit for about a month now, taking it every day. I recently went through the guidelines and noticed that the amounts of ethambutol and isoniazid I'm getting are lower than what's recommended for my weight. Specifically, it seems like my dose of ethambutol is 400 mg less and isoniazid is 300 mg less than what's suggested. Should I be worried about this affecting my treatment for extrapulmonary tuberculosis in epididymitis?
It's important to follow the prescribed dosage for your condition, as the dosages in the AKT4 kit are typically based on standard treatment guidelines. Since your weight requires slightly higher doses of Ethambutol and Isoniazid, discuss this with your doctor to ensure the treatment is effective and adjusted for your needs.
