My dad had fistula surgery 3 days ago and now there's some swelling when he walks. What can we do to reduce the swelling and help him recover better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To reduce swelling and aid recovery after fistula surgery, encourage your dad to apply ice packs, take prescribed pain medication, and maintain good hygiene. He should also consider using a donut pillow for comfortable sitting and gradually increase his activity level as tolerated, according to Dr. Raviram S.. It's crucial to attend follow-up appointments with his doctor for monitoring.

View allMy frenulum got cut during sex with my girlfriend and now there's just a little pain left. Is this normal, or should I see a doctor?
Give it a rest for a week, that is no sex or masturbation, it should heal just fine as it doesn't sound deep. Avoid putting any type of cream on it just keep it clean and dry as possible and you will be fine... Don't apply cream as it keeps the wound moist and it will not heal for ages. Stop sex etc and if you see no improvement then as bad as it seems, you need to seek medical advice. .

Is it safe to have sex if my partner has had phimosis since birth or is surgery the only option to fix it
Yes, it's generally safe to have sex with phimosis, but it might be uncomfortable or painful depending on the severity. Surgery (circumcision) is a common treatment option, but it's not always necessary. Mild phimosis may not require intervention and can be managed with proper hygiene and gentle stretching.
