I am 54 yo and I would like to make a circumcision.Is it good in my age?I think that my long skin is pushing my penis back in my body and think it is getting smaller .Will I lose something with circumcision,will my glans be less sensitive?
View 2 RepliesI decided to do circumcision in my 43 year. I lost glans sensitivity about two years ago. It became very difficult for me to reach orgasm. I thought that this will help me. I lost interest in sex, even in masturbation after. I am very unhappy because of this. I think that I did awful damage to my penis.

View 4 RepliesI'm 28 yrs bachelor and having my marriage next year. I had circumcised on 15th May. But doc said i am having adhesion between prepuce & glans. Do I need to get it operated for the 2nd time or there is any alternative process to separate the adhesion?
View 2 RepliesI had a circumcision 2 months ago because I was diagnosed with Phimosis and I had pain during sex.My stitches are gone, my wounds are closed and the pain is gone, but, there is a swollen ring under my glans with no signs of progress.Its the same for the past 2 months.I asked my doctor and he said that its normal and it takes some time to heal but I know thats not true...most people were good by 1 month max, and my swollen ring under the glands has no signs of progress at all.Has anyone experienced anything similar? Does anyone know what is causing this ?
View 2 RepliesI'm 25 and have struggled with phimosis for most of my life. I had never been able to see my glans before as they were always covered. During an erection I still could not get them exposed and wearing a condom was just so painful so yes, still a virgin at 25.
Recently I went to the doctor and got circumcised to correct this. Its been 3 days now, still have the stitches there and the pain is ok (except for the occassional erection). My main problem is the glans..they are super sensitive,even passing a cloth there sends me to hell and back. And they are bright red in colour and swollen. How can I desensitize them?
Im 23 yrs male, got circumcised 2 weeks ago due to phimosis, everything was fine but from 4 days after removal of bandage there is thick liquid producing below the glans at incision line, it is painful like burning, my doctor said it infected. He advised me to take anti biotic injections but I was fed up with those injections bcoz I hv taken antibiotics for five days after circumcision. So he given some tablets. and also i'm using ointment called SOFRAMYCIN, is it safe to use this ointment directly on affected area? Is it will stop the infection? Is there possibilities of spreading infection to entire penis?
View 2 RepliesI had it done about five days ago now and the glans are still fairly sore to touch. It makes wearing pants fairly uncomfortable right now. It appears to be slightly bruised on closure inspection and I was wondering how long it takes for the bruising to go, completely? Is the best way to do it just to suck it up and deal with the friction between the bruised part and my underwear until it goes away itself?
View 4 RepliesSo I've been on the Nuvaring for 11 months now, this is my 12th starting. Unfortunately I have a lack in my sex drive, my boobs have gone from a C to a DD, I've gained about 10 lbs, I have been getting headaches, and I have a huge increase in my appetite. I know every woman has different reactions to different birth controls. Are the headaches normal? That's my biggest concern and is there anyway I can get my sex drive back or stop my appetite and weight gain? It's driving me crazy, my pants are too tight and I need all new bras, dresses and shirts! This is becoming an expensive prescription.

View 1 RepliesI took omeprazole along with naproxen and after eating my lunch outside in the sunshine (May2009) I developed very red itchy skin something like prickly heat. My GP and pharmacist told me that it was a side effect of the naproxen.
I am no longer taking naproxen but started taking omeprazole again for indigestion. I have just returned from a weeks holiday in Greece that was ruined from day two by the same red , itchy skin problem that prevented me from spending any time in the sun.
Is this a coincidence....I think not.
Have discontinued this medication.
i have been under extreme stress and anxiety for the past 7 months. taking xanax 1 mg per day on and off for this period. i am taking Klonopin 0.5 mg regularly for the past 2 months at night as sleeping aid. since last week i was trying to lower the dosage to 0.25 mg and changed the time to 7 p.m. i have started tension headaches and now for the past week very sensitive to noises which is really bothering me. can this be related and also can i take paxil with klnopin on the same day.

View 1 RepliesI am on antibiotics right now and I was wondering if it could cause insulin sensitivity or maybe mess up my blood sugar? I am wondering because my grandma says it will mess me up and I should take my blood sugar reading more often. What is everyone's opinion on this?
View 1 RepliesThe thing that scares me more than anything is the anesthesia. I am super sensitive to drugs, I will have nearly violent adverse reactions to even the lowest doses. I cannot even take aspirin. Benzodiazepines are out of the question. What is the gentlest anesthesia? I know people always say be sure to tell your doctor about your sensitivities, but in my case it doesn't do any good because most doctors cannot appreciate the unusual sensitivities that I have.

View 2 RepliesAM I INSULIN RESISTANT OR NOT?
I have symptoms of Type 2 and insulin resistance, including reactive hypoglycemia (RHG) as shown by the lab results below. I also have poor lipid values (bad LDL/HDL), low SHBG and a resulting testosterone deficiency that started in my teens. Both my mom and sister have PCOS.
2 hour OGTT results:
Fasting glucose, insulin: 79 mg/dL, 2.5 uIU/mL
75 g glucose, then (glucose, insulin):
+0:30: 116 mg/dL, 35.0 uIU/mL
+1:00: 83 mg/dL, 17.5 uIU/mL
+2:00: 56 mg/dL, 6.4 uIU/mL
A1c: 5.2% (weird, if my blood sugar is so "normal")
* highlighted = out of lab range
My insulin looks very low. Are these low numbers for insulin? If so, why would I get RHG from insulin so low?
I have had extremely bad photophobia for the last 3 yrs (sunglasses in house etc), which started after having my eyes dilated 4 times. I don't have any eye disease. However 3 days ago I bought a herb (which i read about on the internet), called qi ju di huang wan. They are tiny little black pills and you take 30 a day. And I am actually able to walk around outside now without my sunglasses even in the sun!!!! (still best to wear em though).
View 7 RepliesProblem begun over recent years since I've been with my present partner (female).
We started off with a great sex life together seven years ago. She needs lots of satisfying and I used to satisfy her.
Over recent years I've found that I have started climaxing far too soon after only about 10 thrusts inside her and then afterwards my penis is extremely sensitive on the end which prevents oral sex or further touching. I soon become limp and can't get my erection back.
In order for her to enjoy our sex I now encourage her to continue with her toys after I've ejaculated too soon. It's getting to the stage now where we don't have sex very often as the satisfaction for her isn't there any more. We masturbate alone.
Hi everyone, just after some advice.. My left eye started watering really bad last Wednesday, by the Friday the white of my eye was blood red, I arranged a visit to the GP who gave me chloramphenicol eye drops and if it got any worse to take myself to our local eye hospital. By the Sunday my eye was so painful, watering, bright red and light sensitive. I ended up visiting the eye hospital to be advised that I had an ulcer on my cornea. This us down to a viral infection, I was given antiviral eye ointment to put in 5 times a day for 10 days. The doc said due to my job I would probably need 2-3 days off.
I have been off 3 days now and although the pain and redness has calmed down, my eye is very sensitive to light and my sight is still blurry.
has anyone else suffered this please and how long did it take to recover and the eye to feel normal?
I'm 19 years old, I've had glasses for a long time (got me newest prescription 5 months ago), and I'm always on my computer. I spend many hours a day on it because I have college online and all of my hobbies include using a PC. But for the past few days, my eyes have started hurting within a few minutes of looking at any bright screens. Even scrolling up and down through web search results makes me a little queasy. Nothing has changed about my lifestyle or health except that I have a rough sinus infection that started around the time the eye problems did.
Again let me reiterate: this has never ever happened before. I'm not on the computer anymore now than I have been in the past, this is just a sudden thing.
I seem to be alright when I'm not looking at a screen, but I haven't driven anywhere so I'm afraid the motion my make it difficult. I scheduled an eye exam already, but it'll be two weeks before I can go in so is there anything that might ease my mind, or at least make sense of my situation?
