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 allMy dad had prostate surgery on June 25th and the doctor said he recovered well with no issues. But since yesterday, he's been passing small clots in his urine and it's slightly reddish at first before turning clear. He doesn't have any pain and hasn't overexerted himself. Should we be concerned about this?

I'm wondering how soon I can have sex now that my kidney stent has been removed. I had a ureteroscopy and laser surgery on May 11, 2017, to take out a stone from my kidney, and they left a stent in for two weeks. It was just removed yesterday, and my urine is mostly clear now, with just a bit of blood. Can you advise me on whether it's safe to resume sexual activity and if there are any precautions I should take?
After the removal of your kidney stent, its generally safe to resume sexual activity once any discomfort or bleeding has subsided and you're feeling comfortable. However, it's important to listen to your bodyif there's still slight bleeding or discomfort, its best to wait a few more days. Always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

Is it normal to have no bacteria present if there's a history of urine infections? I've had kidney stones last year and have had urine infections 2 or 3 times. Should I be worried or is this within the normal range?
Based on your history of recurrent urine infections and a kidney stone last year, it is important to monitor your urine parameters closely. A normal urine test should not show any bacteria present. To prevent further infections, you can consider taking cranberry supplements or D-mannose powder to help maintain urinary tract health. Additionally, you can ask your doctor about prescribing you with a low-dose antibiotic such as Nitrofurantoin to take after intercourse or as a prophylactic treatment. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your kidney health and prevent future complications.
