I have a short frenulum and I'm worried it might cause issues during sex in the future. Should I consider getting surgery for this or are there other options I should know about?

View allI've noticed that after having intercourse with my partner, one side of my penis is swollen. There's no pain, but it does itch a bit. Is this normal after sex? Should I be doing something about it?
A swollen penis after intercourse, accompanied by itching but no pain, can be caused by an allergic reaction to latex condoms, lubricants, or spermicides, or by a skin condition like contact dermatitis; to alleviate symptoms, apply cool compresses, avoid scratching, and use antihistamine creams or hydrocortisone cream; however, if the swelling persists or worsens, or if you experience difficulty urinating, increased redness, or pain, consult a healthcare provider or a urologist for proper evaluation and guidance.

Is there a permanent treatment for urethral stricture or can it be cured without surgery? If surgery is needed, which procedure has the best success rate?
Urethroplasty, a reconstructive surgery, is generally considered the most effective and permanent treatment for urethral stricture. It involves removing the scarred tissue and reconstructing the urethra, aiming for a lasting solution. While some less invasive options like dilation or internal urethrotomy exist, they often have lower success rates and higher recurrence rates.
