My brother has phimosis and can't pull his foreskin back. He only noticed this recently but doesn't have issues with erections or peeing. However, he's been experiencing premature ejaculation during masturbation. Is this because of phimosis? What are the treatment options, and can surgery be done at his age? His wedding is in August would recovery be possible by then? Need advice as soon as possible.

View allI'm worried about my penis size because it feels really small, and I've noticed it's not as hard as it should be. I tend to masturbate multiple times a day, and I'm concerned this might affect things. Is there anything I can do to increase the size and improve firmness?
Typhoid Recovery Complications: Addressing Weakness and Bowel Issues_ I understand your concern for your mother's recovery. Given her symptoms, here are some possible explanations and recommendations: _Possible Causes of Weakness and Bowel Issues:_ 1. _Post-typhoid weakness_: It's common to experience weakness after a typhoid infection, especially if the fever was high. 2. _Antibiotic side effects_: Levolab (levofloxacin) can cause gastrointestinal side effects, including constipation. 3. _Dehydration_: Inadequate fluid intake or excessive fluid loss can lead to dehydration, exacerbating weakness and bowel issues. 4. _Gastrointestinal complications_: Typhoid can cause gastrointestinal complications, such as ileus (temporary paralysis of the intestines) or gastrointestinal bleeding. _Recommendations:_ 1. _Encourage fluid intake_: Ensure your mother drinks plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks. 2. _Dietary changes_: Offer a bland diet, including foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet). Avoid spicy, fatty, or high-fiber foods. 3. _Stool softeners or laxatives_: If your mother is experiencing constipation, consider consulting her doctor about stool softeners or laxatives. 4. _Follow-up consultation_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with her doctor to assess her recovery progress and address any ongoing concerns. _Monitor and Seek Immediate Medical Attention if:_ 1. _Severe abdominal pain_ 2. _Vomiting blood or black tarry stools_ 3. _Fever above 101.5F (38.6C)_ 4. _Signs of dehydration, such as excessive thirst, dark urine, or decreased urine output

I've been diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele and I'm really confused about treatment options surgery, ayurvedic, or homeopathic. Which one actually works best? I'm pretty scared because I don't know if this condition is dangerous or what to expect
Surgery is most effective for grade 3 varicocele; ayurveda/homeopathy may relieve mild symptoms but not curative.
