Hey, I've got a situation where there's a lot of foreskin at the tip of my penis, and I'm finding it tough to retract it fully. It's really bothering me and I kinda want to be able to pull it back easily. Any advice on what I can do about this?

Circumcision may be necessary to remove the excess foreskin. It is important to consult with a urologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried about my sperm count and motility. My total sperm count came back at 8 million. I noticed that only 5% are actively motile, 45% are sluggishly motile, and 50% are non-motile. Also, the morphology shows 70% normal. Based on these figures, could this mean I'm dealing with infertility? And if so, what options or remedies might be available for me?

I'm really concerned about the size of my penis and I'm hoping for some advice on how to increase it. Right now, when it's hard, it's about 5 inches, but I wish it were a bit larger. Can you offer any suggestions on this?

It's completely normal to have concerns about body image, but it's important to understand that size and thickness are often less significant than factors like intimacy, trust, and communication in relationships. There are no proven medications or treatments for increasing penis thickness. If you're still concerned, I recommend speaking to a urologist for personalized advice and support.
