I'm worried because I tore my frenulum a few days ago, and I'm wondering how long it'll take to heal. How can I tell when it's fully healed?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The healing time for a torn frenulum can vary depending on the severity of the tear. In general, it may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for the frenulum to heal completely. You will know it is healed when the pain and any bleeding have stopped, and the skin appears to be fully healed without any open wounds or scabs. To help with the healing process, you can keep the area clean and dry, avoid any activities that may cause further injury, and consider using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to manage any discomfort. If you experience persistent pain, excessive bleeding, or signs of infection, it is important to seek medical attention.

View allI've been masturbating every day since I was 13, and I'm now 19. I'm worried because I feel like it's making my penis smaller. Are there any supplements, oils, or exercises that can help make it bigger? Also, what precautions should I take?
It's important to note that masturbation does not affect the size of your penis. Penis size is primarily determined by genetics and natural growth during puberty, which typically concludes in your late teens. If you're concerned about your health or body image, I recommend speaking with a healthcare professional to discuss any worries and get personalized advice.

I've been dealing with this issue where my foreskin sticks to the glans, and I've noticed there's some whiteness on the glans too. The skin doesn't retract when I have an erection. It used to not retract at all, but I've been gently trying to retract it in warm water, and now it retracts a bit more, but only up to about 25. I really want to avoid circumcision if there's another solution, even if it takes a while. Are there any topical creams or treatments you could recommend?
