I had a hypospadias surgery and another procedure to remove extra skin and reshape, but it didn't work out. What are my options now? Has anyone else faced this and what did they do?

I've been dealing with paraphimosis for a while now my foreskin doesn't retract fully and my frenulum seems too short, maybe frenulum breve. It's affecting my erections and making sex uncomfortable. Is there a safe, non-surgical way to fix this? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible.

For mild to moderate paraphimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin) and possible short frenulum, non-surgical treatments like gentle stretching exercises, steroid creams, and possibly lubrication can be effective. However, for severe cases or if these methods don't work, surgical options might be necessary.
