Is it safe to have sex if my partner has had phimosis since birth or is surgery the only option to fix it

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes, it's generally safe to have sex with phimosis, but it might be uncomfortable or painful depending on the severity. Surgery (circumcision) is a common treatment option, but it's not always necessary. Mild phimosis may not require intervention and can be managed with proper hygiene and gentle stretching.

I'm 61 years old with a Grade 2 enlarged prostate and cysts in both kidneys 14x10mm on the right and 14x12mm on the left. Should I be considering surgery for these conditions?

your kidney cysts don't need surgery. Prostate may need treatment if it is causing problems. See your family doctor or a urologist for this.

I'm dealing with a curve in my penis that bends to the left, and it's making me feel really self-conscious. Is there any specific exercise I can do, or a proper way to masturbate, that might help make it straighter?

To address this issue, you can try performing penile stretching exercises to help straighten your penis. One common exercise is the penile traction method, where you gently stretch your penis in the opposite direction of the curve for a few minutes each day. Additionally, using a penile traction device may also help in straightening your penis over time. It's important to be patient and consistent with these exercises for them to be effective. Remember to be gentle and not forceful to avoid any injuries.

So my husband's sperm count came back as nil after his recent test, and we're quite concerned about this. The volume is measured at 2ml, and the viscosity seems normal. However, the report mentioned the presence of 45 pus cells and prostatic cells. I'm really worried about whether this means he can still become a father. Can you help us understand what might be going on and if there's anything we can do?

A nil sperm count, also known as azoospermia, can make it difficult to conceive naturally. However, there are treatment options available. Your husband may benefit from a consultation with a doctor specializing in male fertility. In cases of azoospermia, medications such as Clomiphene or hormonal treatments like Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) may be prescribed to help increase sperm production. Additionally, surgical procedures like Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) or Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) can be considered to retrieve sperm for assisted reproductive techniques like Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). It's important to consult with a specialist to determine the most suitable treatment plan based on your husband's specific condition.
