If you're 17 and can easily retract your foreskin, you likely do not need surgery. Circumcision is generally not necessary if the foreskin can be fully retracted, and you're not experiencing pain, swelling, or other issues

Question

What should I do if I'm peeing out blood? I am 16 years old.?

So my husband's sperm count came back as nil after his recent test, and we're quite concerned about this. The volume is measured at 2ml, and the viscosity seems normal. However, the report mentioned the presence of 45 pus cells and prostatic cells. I'm really worried about whether this means he can still become a father. Can you help us understand what might be going on and if there's anything we can do?

Question

I'm really worried about something that's been happening the last few weeks. Whenever I get an erection, everything seems fine at first, but when the foreskin pulls back, it gets painful cracks, and I've even noticed some bleeding. The area feels really dry and uncomfortable. We've tried not having sex for a bit, hoping it would heal, which it does, but then the cracks come back again when I pull the skin back during sex. I used some lubricant and coconut oil, which help a little bit, but the problem is still there. I've been married for a year now and never had this issue before. Any advice on what might be causing this and how I can fix it?
