I went to see a urologist about my phimosis. He was insisting on circumcision. I said i wanna go for a steroid creme treatment first and he prescribed me tenovate creme for 10 days. It's been 15 days today, i can pull the skin in flaccid and mid-erect state but not in a completely erect state.

Should i keep applying the creme for a few more days and see if it helps? I don't wanna go for circumcision unless that is the only solution left but also i don't wanna see that doctor 'cause the way he was insisting on circumcision seemed less like a solution and more like a sales target he wants to match.

Help me out guys. Cannot go to multiple doctors as i don't have enough money to spend it on tons of doctors.

Throw-away account due to obv reasons.

Me (25M) and my girlfriend (26F) have been together for 6 years and living together since 2 years. We have been through highs and lows together, fights, break ups and patch ups, just like any serious couple. Recently we had a fight on some topic, and i tried to calm her down without fighting or arguing back 'cause i don't like to fight.

(it's not like she likes to fight lol. It's just that I don't want to fight w her, winning an argument or fight is not something on my priority when it's her. I'd rather lose an argument than lose her)

During the last fight, she brought up the topic of how I don't argue w her or do not put my points forward even if I'm not at the wrong. I tried explaining her that how proving me right is not something important i feel. But i feel she is not able to understand that or something, or maybe I'm unable to perceive it as she wants.

I want a 3rd, unbiased opinion on what she might be thinking, and what should i do in such situations.

Help me out fellow redditors.

I (24F) go to the gym in the eve 'cause i work in the morning shift so no time in the morning. I have been lifting for about 3 years. Guys of almost every age group keep coming to me to ask how many sets do i have left? My form is not correct. I should maybe increase the weight. Can we perform this alternately? I know a few of them are legit but i can sense that most of them try to approach me in the name of correcting form or performing alternatively, later trying to initiate a convo. Few of the guys ask me to spot them when it's pretty obv that i cannot lift the weight they're lifting and there are other guys and trainers yet they ask me to help them there.

I've said no to them but they keep coming, even kids of age 16-17 come and try to correct my form, ask where did i get my gym outfit/shoes from as they need to get one for their sisters or mothers, uncles who might be the age of my dad comes to me and start a convo, offers to drop me home etc etc.

How should i deal with this? Cannot say it to the trainer either 'cause I've done this before and they neither help. Guys and girlies who have faced this, is there a solution?

Note: it's hard to change the gym 'cause this gym is v v close to my home, other good gyms are relatively far. Cannot change the time due to work.
