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 keep getting small cuts on my foreskin during sex and sometimes it hurts a lot. It feels like phimosis but I really don't want to get circumcision or surgery. Are there any other treatments that could help with this?
Foreskin cuts and pain during intercourse may indicate phimosis; steroid creams and stretching exercises can help, but persistent symptoms may eventually need minor surgery.

I've been dealing with some weird side effects from years of masturbating, like joint pain, weaker bones, hair fall, especially around my shoulders which feel weak, and fatigue, and even some pain in my lower back and abs. I stopped for a month, but this morning I had an episode in my sleep, and now I'm back to feeling weak with bone pain and fatigue. What should I do? Any advice would be really helpful right now.
It sounds like your body is reacting to the strain of frequent masturbation. It's important to listen to your body and give it time to recover. Focus on staying hydrated, eating nutrient-rich foods, and getting rest. If symptoms persist, consider speaking to a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I have partial phimosis and I'm really worried about it can it be treated without needing surgery? What are my options and how effective are they? I'd prefer to avoid an operation if possible
Another effective alternate cure for phimosis is topical corticosteroids in the form of creams, ointments, or gels. Using these steroid creams for phimosis about 6-8 weeks improves the condition of phimosis in most cases. Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin.
