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

View allI'm really worried because after I use the bathroom, I feel this painful burning sensation, and I've noticed a bit of blood too. What could be causing this?
It can be due to UTI. . These happen when bacteria get into the tube through which urine leaves the body, called the urethra. Then the bacteria multiply in the bladder. UTIs can cause bleeding that makes urine look red, pink or brown. So visit urogolist for further needful investigation and evaluation

what are the best ways to manage phimosis without surgery my doctor recommended a dorsal slit but I'm unsure about going under the knife are there other options like stretching or creams that could help first
Steroid creams and stretching exercises can treat early phimosis. Consult a urologist to try this for 4–6 weeks before considering dorsal slit.

I'm really concerned because a few years ago, I had a laparoscopic stent implantation done through the urethral opening when I was 21. During that procedure, they had to slightly remove the prepuce because the glans penis was completely covered since I was a kid. Only a tiny opening was there for urine. After they opened the preputial orifice, the skin was soft, pinkish-white, and super sensitive. But about a year later, I noticed a black spot there. There's no growth, it's just a spot, and I'm really confused about what it could be. Is this a lentigo or something else I should be worried about? Can you help me figure this out?
