I'm having a bit of a problem where my frenulum seems too short, making my foreskin really tight and painful when I try to pull it back over the head. I'm wondering, is frenuloplasty my only option here? Also, how much does that kind of surgery typically cost?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A short frenulum, known as frenulum breve, can cause discomfort and tightness when retracting the foreskin. Frenuloplasty is a common procedure to correct this by lengthening the frenulum. While it is an effective option, non-surgical treatments like topical steroids may also help in some cases. The cost of frenuloplasty can vary, typically ranging from $500 to $2,000, depending on the healthcare provider and location.

View allI'm 28, married, and dealing with phimosis where my tight foreskin makes sex painful and affects my performance. Are there any treatments to loosen the skin without surgery?
Yes, there are non-surgical treatments for phimosis, including topical steroid creams and gentle stretching exercises. These can help reduce inflammation, improve elasticity, and make the foreskin easier to retract.

I'm uncircumcised and struggling to retract my foreskin. Is there a way to do this naturally at home without surgery? Can homeopathy help with this issue?
Yes, it's possible to gently and naturally try to retract your foreskin at home, especially if you're experiencing phimosis (a condition where the foreskin can't be retracted). Homeopathy might be a part of a complementary approach, but it's important to understand the limitations and seek guidance from a healthcare professional.

I'm dealing with a bilateral grade 1 varicocele, and I'm really worried because my left testicle is sagging a lot lower than my right one. It's causing a lot of pain and discomfort. I've seen a urologist who suggested I take Hetrazan and Health OK tablets, but they haven't really helped. Do you think I should consider surgery? If so, what type of surgery would be best with the least complications? I'm really anxious to find a solution.
Bilateral varicocele with discomfort, especially in the left testicle, may sometimes require surgery if symptoms persist. The most common option is laparoscopic varicocelectomy, which has fewer complications and a quicker recovery time compared to open surgery. It's best to discuss your symptoms and treatment options with your urologist to see if surgery is necessary in your case.
