I'm dealing with paraphimosis and considering circumcision are there any side effects I should know about before going through with the surgery? Just want to make sure it's the right move for me.

With quick, proper treatment, the outlook for paraphimosis is very good. But if you can't put your foreskin back into position by yourself after treatment, you run the risk of getting paraphimosis again. That's why healthcare providers usually suggest circumcision.

I keep getting small cuts on my foreskin during sex and sometimes it hurts a lot. It feels like phimosis but I really don't want to get circumcision or surgery. Are there any other treatments that could help with this?

Foreskin cuts and pain during intercourse may indicate phimosis; steroid creams and stretching exercises can help, but persistent symptoms may eventually need minor surgery.

I've been masturbating every day for the past few years, around 3 to 4 times daily. I'm 27 now, and I've noticed I'm losing weight. I'm worried if this could be affecting my stamina or if it might cause any problems in the future, like after I get married. Should I stop or cut down a bit? Really curious about what's best here.
