it's been 6 days since my circumcision but there's still swelling and a ring-like thing around the penis head - how long until everything looks normal again
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Proper healing can take several weeks. In the initial days after circumcision, the skin around the penis may appear red and swollen. As healing takes place, redness will fade and swelling will subside. Likewise, any scar tissue that's raised or bumpy in the first days and weeks after the surgery should shrink.

View allI'm really worried about my health right now. I have a 23 mm microlith in the upper pole of my kidney with some minimal hydronephrosis. There's this constant, mild pain on my right side, both in the kidney and the tube area. I'm also feeling pretty weak. I just got checked out yesterday, and they mentioned an edematous UV junction in my urinary bladder, plus a cyst and something about my thyroid. Is this something serious? What can I do about it? I'm really hoping to get some advice.

I'm noticing that my penis sometimes shrinks in the middle and looks kind of out of proportion. It's strange because I haven't had any kind of sexual experience, although I do masturbate. This happens either after I masturbate, before taking a hot shower, or just randomly during the day when I look at it. But whenever I get an erection, everything seems normal. It's only an issue when it's flaccid. Is this something I should be worried about? Could masturbation be causing damage, or is this just a normal thing? I'm really hoping for some advice.
It sounds like you're experiencing temporary changes in the size and appearance of your penis when flaccid, which is completely normal. The size can vary due to factors like temperature, arousal, or even anxiety. Masturbation does not cause permanent damage; if you're concerned, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for reassurance and guidance.

I'm worried because I ejaculate too early and I'm concerned my penis might be smaller and weaker than normal. It's less than 5 inches, which is making me anxious. Can you advise on whether this is something I should be really worried about or if there are any ways to improve this situation?
It's important to know that many factors, including anxiety and stress, can affect sexual performance and perception of body size. If you're concerned about premature ejaculation or erectile strength, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider who can guide you on potential treatments, therapy, and lifestyle changes to improve both physical and mental well-being.
