Every time I have sex with my wife, I end up with cuts on my foreskin. It's the same problem after I masturbate too. It's really painful, and the itching while they heal is driving me crazy. Could you recommend a cream or ointment that'll help with this?

You may be experiencing some irritation or friction during sexual activity leading to cuts on your foreskin. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. Apply a thin layer of the ointment on the cuts twice a day after gently cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can also use a soothing cream like Aloe Vera gel to help with the healing process and reduce itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with testicle pain for almost two years now. I saw a local sex specialist who just gave me painkillers, but the pain hasn't gone away. It's really affecting my life since I can't have sex with my wife without feeling a lot of discomfort afterward. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

My penis head bends downward when I pull back the foreskin during an erection, and I think it's due to a tight frenulum. It makes masturbation uncomfortable because of the tension in that area. Is frenuloplasty the only solution, or are there non-surgical options that could help?
