In severe cases of paraphimosis, circumcision may be recommended. In very severe cases, a lack of blood flow to the penis can cause tissue death (gangrene) and you may need surgery to remove the penis.

I've been prone masturbating for the past five years and just realized what it could lead to. I've tried using my hands, but it really didn't work for me. When I tried prone again, it worked. Does it usually take time to get used to using hands? I really don't want to go prone again. Is it normal for someone who's been doing this for five or six years to have trouble adjusting to using their hands?

I'm a 34-year-old male with a 9mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I have to travel abroad this month Is there any way to treat it without surgery I'm really worried about this

While a 9mm kidney stone might typically require surgery, there are some non-surgical options to consider, especially if travel is a concern. One possibility is shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which uses sound waves to break down the stone into smaller pieces that can pass through the urinary tract. Another option is ureteroscopy, where a small camera is inserted through the urethra to locate and remove the stone, or to break it down with laser or other tools.
