I'm 28 and about to get married but I have a foreskin that doesn't retract. There's no infection, but my friends suggested sunthi surgery. I'm scared about the procedure can this be fixed with medicines instead? If I need surgery, where should I go and how much does it usually cost? Also how many days will recovery take

Circumcision is a very safe procedure. Certain ointments have been tried but in my experience I can tell you that they don't actually work. So better to go for circumcision. It just requires a maximum of 1 day hospitalisation. Cost would differ from hospital to hospital.
