Can you help me understand why I'm frequently getting these pimple-like bumps or white pops on my urethra? It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure what's causing it.

Your vitamin D level is low (normal range: 30-50 ngmL), and B12 is slightly below the optimal range (normal range: 200-900 pgmL).
These deficiencies might contribute to your symptoms:
Lethargy and fatigue (vitamin D and B12) Depression (vitamin D deficiency has been linked to depression)
Consult your doctor to discuss supplementation options:
Vitamin D: 1,000-2,000 IUday Vitamin B12: oral supplements or injections
Additionally, consider lifestyle changes:
Increase sun exposure (vitamin D) Maintain a balanced diet Exercise regularly Manage stress levels

I'm feeling a bit worried because my doctor at Medanta Gurgaon mentioned that I might need frenuloplasty surgery. Are there any other options or alternatives to this procedure? I'm not sure what to do and would really appreciate some guidance.
Frenuloplasty is commonly recommended to treat a tight or shortened frenulum, but alternatives like steroid creams or stretching exercises might help in milder cases. It's best to discuss with your doctor if these options could be suitable for you.

I've had a downward bend at the tip of my penis for as long as I can remember, probably because my foreskin is attached to the glans. I tried cutting it myself a few years ago and it helped a bit, but the bend still happens when I'm erect. I attached a picture so you can see. Is surgery the only fix for this or could daily stretching work? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible
