I've noticed that the skin on the upper part of my penis doesn't open up properly, and the last time I had sex, it started bleeding and was really painful. I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice?

It sounds like you may have experienced a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully. It's important to avoid any further trauma to the area. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider, preferably a urologist, for a proper examination and treatment options, which may include topical treatments or, in some cases, a minor surgical procedure.

View allMy foreskin won't pull down and part of it seems stuck to the head of my penis. When I get an erection, it gets really tight and I can't retract it at all. During sex, it does come down but since it's attached, I end up ejaculating too fast. I read online that this might be phimosis and they suggested using a steroid cream like Tenovat along with daily stretching exercises, saying it could fix it in about 4 weeks. Does that actually work or is surgery the only way to fix this?
Surgery opinion is advised to the patient.

I have a grade 1 varicocele on the left side do I really need surgery for this or are there other treatment options I can try first
A Grade 1 varicocele often doesn't require surgery, especially if it's not causing pain or other significant issues. Surgery might be considered if there are complications like reduced testicular function or infertility concerns. There are several other treatment options, including lifestyle adjustments and medications to manage pain and swelling

I was trimming the hair on my testicle, and I accidentally cut my right testis, which started bleeding immediately. I used turmeric powder, and the bleeding stopped, and there's no pain now. I'm just worried if this might cause any problems later on. Could you let me know if there's anything I should watch out for or do to prevent any future issues?
While trimming hair on your testicle, you got a cut on your right testis and bleeding started immediately. You applied turmeric powder and the bleeding stopped, and there is no pain. Using turmeric powder for minor cuts can help with its antiseptic properties. However, it is important to keep the area clean to prevent infection. If you notice any signs of infection such as increasing pain, redness, swelling, or discharge, you should seek medical attention. In this case, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Apply a small amount of Neosporin on the cut twice a day for a few days.
