My foreskin doesn't fully cover the head of my penis about 11.5cm is always exposed whether it's erect or not. It's been like this for years without any issues, but I recently read about paraphimosis and now I'm worried if I have it. Also, what exactly is circumcision surgery and would I need it
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Paraphimosis is a urologic emergency where the foreskin, once retracted, cannot be returned to its normal position, leading to a tight band around the glans of the penis. It's a medical condition primarily seen in uncircumcised or partially circumcised males

I'm worried because I've been having early discharge and trouble with erections after taking Patanjali Shilajeet capsules a while back. I'm concerned about how this might affect me in the future. Could you guide me on what to do for better treatment?
Its possible that the Patanjali Shilajit capsules may have affected your hormonal balance or caused temporary changes. For better management of early discharge and erectile issues, I recommend consulting with a doctor who can evaluate your specific condition and suggest treatments like lifestyle changes, counseling, or medications that address the root cause effectively.

My left hydrosol is three times bigger than the right one and has been painful for the past two days. It also feels harder compared to the right side. Should I consider surgery or are there any medications that can help with this?
Painful hydrosol may respond to anti-inflammatory meds temporarily—if large or recurrent, surgery is the definitive solution.
