I'm kind of worried about my foreskin. It's become swollen and there are some cut-like marks on it. It's been like this for about a month now. Its difficult to move the foreskin back and there's a burning sensation when I touch the area. Could you suggest some medicine or what I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal and anti-inflammatory cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg to help with the burning sensation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about something that happened recently. My friend accidentally hit me really hard in the testicles, and it hurt a lot. Do you think this could affect my sperm count? If so, how much? I'm not sure what to do next and could really use some guidance.

Question

I'm really worried about this issue I've been having. It seems like whenever I think about or even just see anything related to lovemaking, there's a sticky, watery fluid that comes out of my penis. Even when I talk to my girlfriend, I notice it happening. I haven't gotten married yet, and this problem is honestly scaring me a bit. Is there any treatment for dhatu rog and premature ejaculation that you could suggest?
