I'm thinking about getting circumcised mainly for hygiene and how it looks but I'm a bit nervous about the procedure. Can you tell me more about bloodless circumcision and what the cost might be? I've heard mixed things and want to understand what to expect.

View allMy foreskin doesn't retract properly do I need to get circumcised before getting married? What are my options?
No, you don't need to get circumcised before marriage just because your foreskin doesn't retract properly. This condition, called phimosis, is not a medical emergency or a requirement for marriage. However, if phimosis causes pain, discomfort, or other issues, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor about treatment options. These options can include steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, or, in some cases, circumcision.

I'm having some problems that are really concerning me. Firstly, during sex, I notice that my penis seems to lose its hardness and takes quite some time to get firm again. Secondly, I'm worried about the size of my penis because the circumference seems small to me. Also, I'm not sure if it's normal that it bends downward instead of being straight. Could you let me know what might be causing these issues or what I might be able to do?
