I'm 22, and I've noticed that while my penis foreskin retracts normally, it doesn't pull back when I'm erect. The tip stays covered, and I'm not sure what this means or what I should do next. Could you help me figure this out?

When the foreskin of the penis can't be pulled back over the head of the penis, it's called phimosis.consult general surgeon

Question

I've been wondering and I'm a bit worried because when I was around 16, I used to masturbate a lot and applied pressure on my penis against the bed. Now, my outer skin has kind of opened up, and the inner skin is exposed. I'm concerned if this could cause any issues in the future. Could you give me some advice on whether this might be a problem?

Question

I'm really worried because my mom, who was just diagnosed with kidney stones last Saturday, hasnt had a bowel movement since then and now it's Tuesday night. I understand that the medication shes on can cause constipation, and we tried giving her prunes, other high-fiber foods, and even some magnesium citrate, but nothing seems to work. Is there anything else we can do? What would you suggest to help her with this issue?

Question

I'm recently married and we're thinking about having a baby. But I'm a bit worried because my penis is only around 2 to 2.5 inches when not erect and grows to about 4 inches during intercourse. The foreskin feels really tight, which makes things uncomfortable, and I notice my erection doesnt last long. I tried using coconut oil, and while it helped a bit with penetration, Im still left feeling not fully satisfied. Also, the fluid seems to come out too quickly after ejaculation. Is all this normal? Are there lotions for tight foreskin or is it okay to use oil on the penis? I'm looking for some advice on these concerns.
