My foreskin doesn't retract properly do I need to get circumcised before getting married? What are my options?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
No, you don't need to get circumcised before marriage just because your foreskin doesn't retract properly. This condition, called phimosis, is not a medical emergency or a requirement for marriage. However, if phimosis causes pain, discomfort, or other issues, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor about treatment options. These options can include steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, or, in some cases, circumcision.

View allI'm dealing with herpes, and my doctor confirmed it's affecting my penis. A couple of months ago, I had Bell's palsy. I'm worriedcan herpes come back, and which type might this be? Can anyone provide some guidance?
It sounds like you're dealing with a couple of challenging conditions. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause outbreaks in various areas, including the genital region. As for Bell's palsy, while it's typically a one-time occurrence, some people may experience it again, but the risk is low. I recommend following your doctor's guidance on managing both conditions and staying informed about any recurrence signs.

I've had an encysted hydrocele for about 3 years now and I'm based in Chennai. Is surgery the only option for this or are there other treatments I can consider? It's been bothering me for a while and I'm not sure what to do next.
Surgery is typically the most effective way to treat an encysted hydrocele, though there may be non-invasive options like aspiration or drainage. Consult with a specialist in Chennai for the best course of action.

The tip of my penis has been swollen since this morning, and I masturbate pretty regularly. I came across some information that said it might be from excessive or forceful masturbation. The swollen part is really sensitive and it hurts whenever it touches anything. It's painful even during simple activities like walking or doing chores. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will just heal on its own?
The swelling and sensitivity at the tip of your penis could be due to irritation, inflammation, or minor trauma from excessive or forceful masturbation; apply ice packs to reduce swelling, avoid further irritation
