It's been about 20 days since I had laser circumcision, and I still see a stitch on top. There's also some pain on the right side. How long does it usually take for the stitches to dissolve and everything to heal properly? I'm wondering if it's time to get a second opinion. Any advice or help would be appreciated!

It's common for stitches to take a little longer to dissolve after a circumcision, typically around 2-4 weeks, depending on the type of stitches used. If you're experiencing pain or if the stitch hasn't dissolved yet, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor for a follow-up to ensure proper healing and to rule out any complications. Don't hesitate to seek a second opinion for peace of mind.

View allI've noticed that I haven't had any wet dreams for about 10 or 11 months, and I haven't masturbated or had any other kind of release for the same amount of time. Is it unhealthy if I don't ejaculate at all for this long?

I'm a bit worried about my urine test results. It showed pus cells at 18-20, but I think the normal range is around 5. I'm experiencing shivering, headaches, and general weakness. I just did a urine culture test and will get the results in 72 hours. Until then, is there anything specific I should do or be concerned about?
