I'm dealing with phimosis and wondering if surgery is the only solution or if there are other effective ways to treat it. What would you recommend for managing this condition?

Phimosis, where the foreskin cannot be retracted, can be managed with both non-surgical and surgical approaches. Non-surgical options include topical steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, and good hygiene practices. Surgery, such as circumcision or preputioplasty, may be considered for more severe cases or if non-surgical treatments fail.

Question

I'm having this issue where every time I drink milk, about 10 or 20 minutes later, I have to pee and then it's like every 10 minutes after that, I feel this really strong urge to go again, sometimes like 3 or 4 times. It's pretty intense and I'm not sure if it's normal. Could this be something to worry about?

Question

I'm 39 and considering getting circumcised. Is it safe to have the procedure done at my age? How long does it usually take to heal, and what kind of side effects should I expect after the surgery? Also, can you give me an idea of the cost and recommend a good place to get it done in Mira Road or Thane?
