You should never fell embarrassed to talk to your doctor, they are there to provide the medical care you need.

It’s just another day for them is all it really is.

True, but when you already know what the doctor will suggest and don’t have $250 to pay the copay, it makes it far easier to justify.

Don’t assume everything. Some physicians will give you sample medicine or code a cheaper, related visit category.

Take care of your body!

Man, I am glad I don’t live in the great red, white and blue states of America.

German healthcare for the win.

I broke my penis masturbating when I was a kid. There was an audible snap and it had an offset in the middle like you see on a road after an earthquake, was constantly weeping blood from the opening, and hurt like hell.

I wrapped that sucker in toilet paper daily and carried on, never told a soul.

Edit: apparently, I was lucky https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/sexual-health/expert-answers/penis-fracture/faq-20058154

I had a reoccurring tear on my frenulum that I waited a long time to see the doctor for. It needed surgery, but I’m glad I finally did it.

Like the frenulum on your dick right? I had the same issue. Doc gave me some topical steroids to spur collagen growth and make it stretchier before we went forward with getting it snipped.

It works fine-ish now, but I’m curious how the snip worked for you

Haven’t had an issue bleeding since the surgery. Before that it was constantly bloody condoms.

Yeah that’s what I used to have too. Now it’s more just irritation due to micro-tears.

I’m probably going to keep trucking forward with the cream for a little while longer, but it’s good to know the surgery is an absolute fix. Thanks!
