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.

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?

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.

I have a 15 mm stone in my right kidney at the PUJ and a 9 mm stone in my left kidney, both causing mild hydronephrosis. My doctor recommended laser surgery with a stent, but I'm wondering how long I can delay this procedure. Are there any homeopathic medicines that could dissolve stones this size? My serum creatinine is 1.13, and I've attached my KUB sonography results.

Large PUJ stones with hydronephrosis need surgery soon—homeopathy is unlikely to work; delay risks kidney damage.

I'm having an issue where I finish really quickly the first time I have sex, but then after about an hour, I can last much longer, like 45 minutes. This leaves my partner unsatisfied after the first round. I'm really looking for ways to last longer the first time. What can I do to improve this?

1. _Skin Irritation_: Combining two products with different active ingredients can increase the risk of skin irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning. 2. _Unstable pH Levels_: Eskinol and Myra-E may have different pH levels, which can disrupt the skin's natural pH balance when combined. 3. _Ineffective or Reduced Efficacy_: Mixing two products can dilute or alter their individual effects, reducing their overall efficacy. _Instead_ 1. _Use products separately_: Apply Eskinol and Myra-E separately, following their individual instructions and recommendations. 2. _Consult a dermatologist_: If you're unsure about combining products or have specific skin concerns, consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.
