If your penis skin doesn't retract when erect, you might have phimosis or other issues like a short frenulum. The cost of surgery varies, but generally, circumcision or frenuloplasty can range from ‚Çπ20,000 to ‚Çπ80,000 in India. The safety of the procedure is high, but like any surgery, there are potential risks.

I've been dealing with a kind of mild to medium pain in my testicles and I don't have any other symptoms. The doctor checked me out and mentioned something about slight epididymitis and put me on levofloxacin antibiotics. It's been about 10 days on the meds, but I'm not really seeing any change. Any idea why it's not improving? How long does it normally take for epididymitis to get better, and do you think trying a different antibiotic might help? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

Continue same treatment.

I'm a bit worried because I was getting proper erections when I was masturbating, but for the past two days, I'm struggling with it. Could this be erectile dysfunction, or is it possibly something else?

I'm trying to understand more about semen analysis. Can you explain what it's all about and how it's actually done? What's the purpose of it, and are there any side effects I should know about? Also, what's the typical cost and how long does it usually take?

Semen analysis is a non-invasive test to evaluate male fertility. It assesses sperm count, motility, morphology, and other factors. There are no significant side effects, but some men might feel anxious.
