I've been having meniscus pain and the doctor suggested keyhole surgery but I'm not sure I want to go through with it. Are there other options to manage the pain or heal without surgery? What would you recommend trying first?

Yes, there are alternative options to manage meniscus pain and potentially heal without surgery. Initially, try the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and over-the-counter pain relievers like NSAIDs. Physical therapy can also help improve range of motion and strength. If these conservative treatments don't provide enough relief, discuss options like steroid injections or a more intensive physical therapy program with your doctor

I have a congenital curve in my penis that bends to the left like a banana, around 30-35 degrees. Do I need surgery for this? I'm still a virgin and worried about how this might affect me. What are my options?

Most congenital penile curvatures are mild and don't require treatment. But in more severe cases, your penis is significantly bent or twisted along the shaft. This can make you feel self-conscious, cause pain or affect sexual function.
