Erectile dysfunction per se can lead to lack of sex life if not addressed properly by health care experts but it is not a sign.

I'm uncircumcised and struggling to retract my foreskin. Is there a way to do this naturally at home without surgery? Can homeopathy help with this issue?

Yes, it's possible to gently and naturally try to retract your foreskin at home, especially if you're experiencing phimosis (a condition where the foreskin can't be retracted). Homeopathy might be a part of a complementary approach, but it's important to understand the limitations and seek guidance from a healthcare professional.

my frenulum feels tight when erect and my penis bends a bit when relaxed but the foreskin moves down fully a surgeon recommended frenuloplasty but I'm not sure whether to go for the stitched or stitchless option how painful is the surgery and how long does it take to recover

Frenuloplasty, a surgery to address a tight frenulum, can be performed with or without stitches, and the choice between stitched and stitchless options depends on individual factors and surgeon preference. The procedure itself is generally minor, with recovery times varying but typically taking a few weeks. While some pain and discomfort are possible after the procedure, it's not typically a painful surgery.
