Yes, it's generally safe to have sex with phimosis, but it might be uncomfortable or painful depending on the severity. Surgery (circumcision) is a common treatment option, but it's not always necessary. Mild phimosis may not require intervention and can be managed with proper hygiene and gentle stretching.

Question

I have a 9mm stone in my right ureter and I'm really worried. Can it pass naturally if I drink a lot of water or is surgery the only option? I get pain and vomiting often but not constantly. Are there any natural remedies that might help? I really don't want to go through surgery if possible.

Question

I've been having some concerns about my testicles being really loose, both generally and during sex. Is this something I should be worried about? I mean, is it considered a disease, or is this normal for guys? I'd really like to know if there's a way to make my testicle sack tighter. Also, which kind of doctor should I see about this? Would it be a urologist or someone else?

Question

I'm thinking about getting circumcision surgery, and I'm a bit anxious about the whole process. Could you tell me how much time it usually takes and what the cost might be?
