I've noticed something strange lately. My foreskin and penis were just fine before, the foreskin used to roll back without any issuesno tightness or pain. After a day of heavy masturbation, the foreskin suddenly became really tight and doesn't roll back as easily as it used to. If I try to force it back, it feels like an elastic band is squeezing my penis. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it?

It seems you're experiencing a condition known as: *Phimosis* or foreskin tightness. This can be caused by: - *Over-manipulation*: Excessive masturbation or forceful retraction of the foreskin. - *Inflammation*: Irritation or infection can lead to scarring and tightening of the foreskin. Symptoms: - Difficulty retracting the foreskin - Pain or discomfort during retraction - Tightness or constriction of the penis To alleviate symptoms: 1. *Stop forceful retraction*: Avoid pulling back the foreskin forcefully. 2. *Apply topical creams*: Use topical corticosteroid creams to reduce inflammation. 3. *Practice gentle hygiene*: Clean the area gently with mild soap and water.
