View allI've had phimosis since I was born and I'm really worried about it. Is there any way to treat it without going through surgery? I'm not sure what options are out there and I'd like to avoid an operation if possible. Can you suggest any non-surgical treatments that actually work?
Phimosis can be treated with steroid creams like betamethasone plus stretching; if no improvement in weeks, circumcision is safest permanent option.

My penis curves to the left when erect and I'm really worried about it. I'm 24 and unmarried is this something that needs treatment or surgery to straighten it out?
A curved penis, especially during erection, can be normal, but it's crucial to determine if it's due to a natural variation or a condition like Peyronie's disease. If the curvature is severe, painful, or causes difficulty with intercourse, it may warrant treatment, which could include medication or surgery

I had ZSR circumcision surgery on 22nd February and all the staples along with the silicon ring have fallen off except one small part still hanging and attached to the skin. It hurts a little when I try to remove it so I'm scared pulling it might cause problems. Can I safely pull it off? Also, am I okay to resume sexual activities like intercourse or masturbation now?
If it’s not falling off naturally, leave it—don’t pull; see your surgeon for removal and resume sex only after complete healing.
