I can't pull back my foreskin when I'm erect it hurts if I try to force it, but when it starts going back to flaccid, I can retract it easily since it doesn't feel tight then. Is there any way to fix this without needing surgery?

It sounds like you might have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight and can't be easily retracted. While surgery (circumcision) is an option, there are non-surgical treatments that can help

I'm really worried about how I can remove the front skin of my penis. It's quite small when it's not erect, but during an erection, it gets thicker and longer. Could you guide me on this?

I've been having some weird experiences at night. A few days ago, I just woke up out of nowhere feeling like I couldn't catch my breath. It's not like anything I could control, you know? Plus, I've noticed that I'm needing to get up and pee a lot during the night, and sometimes my back starts to hurt. Do you think all these things could be connected or something?

it might be due to anxiety,reduce your stress
