How can I permanently retract my foreskin without surgery because I find it unhygienic and prefer it to stay open? Are there safe non-surgical methods to keep the foreskin pulled back?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Foreskin retraction permanently can be aided by stretching exercises and steroid application daily;circumcision only needed if it fails after diligent therapy.

View allI'm 19 and have bilateral varicocele measuring 2.2 mm and 2.6 mm but I think it's getting bigger. I get occasional scrotal pain, no erections, and see a bunch of veins there. I don't want surgery because it might come back. Can homeopathy really help cure varicocele? What other options do I have?
surgery opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been wondering about something that's been stressing me out a bit. So, I started masturbating when I was young but stopped when I was 15, and I was still a virgin then. I picked it up again at 18 after a three-year break. Initially, I tried to delay ejaculation, but after a few weeks, I started having issues. I'm going to the bathroom way more often, and I feel some pain in my penis and testicles. Even right after urinating, I still get this urgent feeling like I need to go again. Add to this, I lost my virginity and noticed that even after doing it quite a few times, I can't hold my ejaculation for more than a minute. I still masturbate regularly 'cause I can't really control the urge, and I'm really concerned. I can't help but wonder if these issues could be connected to my masturbation habits or not. Is this something that might mess with my sex life in the future, like after getting married? Any advice or solutions would be really appreciated.
Your issues with frequent urination and rapid ejaculation may be interrelated and potentially linked to your masturbation habits, particularly the practice of holding back ejaculation, which can lead to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, prostate issues, and ejaculatory control problems; to address these issues, consider consulting a urologist or a sex therapist who can help you develop healthier masturbation habits, improve pelvic floor muscle function, and provide guidance on managing ejaculation and urinary frequency, which will be beneficial for your future sex life, including after marriage.

I've been having trouble with urine getting stuck and not flowing properly, especially when sitting or lying down for long periods. Even when I feel the urge to go, it's hard to empty my bladder completely unless the stream is really strong. Doctors mentioned surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any treatments or surgical options that don't involve removing the prostate gland? What else can be done to help with this?
I would need some more details to get a clear idea of what you are going through
