Frenuloplasty, a surgery to address a tight frenulum, can be performed with or without stitches, and the choice between stitched and stitchless options depends on individual factors and surgeon preference. The procedure itself is generally minor, with recovery times varying but typically taking a few weeks. While some pain and discomfort are possible after the procedure, it's not typically a painful surgery.

I'm noticing some white particles in my urine lately, and I'm a bit concerned. I also have a PCOD problem and there's swelling on the right side of my body, from my upper back down to my toe, even affecting my right hand. I consulted a homeopathy doctor and they mentioned swelling in my right ovary. I completed a 7-month course of medication for PCOD last year, lost 8kgs with a proper diet, and I'm not currently on any medication for it. I'm married, and I'm trying to understand what's going on. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm 31 and just realized I have a tight foreskin. I'm considering circumcision but wondering if it's safe at my age and what the actual benefits are. Who should I talk to about this procedure?

Circumcision at 31 to address a tight foreskin (phimosis) is generally safe and can be done for both medical and personal reasons. A urologist is the best healthcare professional to consult about this procedure
