my urologist recommended surgery for phimosis but I'm not sure if it's the best option or if there are any side effects I should be worried about
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable to have concerns about surgical options for phimosis, especially when you're unsure about the best course of action or potential side effects. Surgery for phimosis, often circumcision, is generally recommended when non-surgical treatments like steroid creams or manual stretching haven't been successful, or if the phimosis is causing significant problems like recurring infections or pain. Potential side effects of circumcision include infection, bleeding, and scarring, but these are usually manageable

I'm experiencing this pinching feeling in my scrotum, kind of like someone poking me with a pin, and it's super embarrassing when I'm trying to sit in public. Adjusting my testicles or penis doesnt seem to help at all, and I just can't resist the urge to itch down there. It comes on at random times and sometimes the pain is just too much to handle. When I look at my scrotum, it seems completely normal. What's going on?

I'm noticing that my penis curves to the left and I'm a bit concerned about it. I was wondering if switching to my right hand for masturbation might help straighten it out? Does the hand I use actually affect the curvature? Would love some guidance on this.
A slight curve in the penis is usually normal and often doesn't require treatment. Using your right or left hand for masturbation won't change the curvature. However, if the curve is significant or causing discomfort, its a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions such as Peyronie's disease.
