I have a thick foreskin that makes sex tricky when I roll it back and put on a condom it's not phimosis, but the extra thickness affects my performance. Are there any non-surgical options to make things easier?

View allI'm really concerned because while I was masturbating, my foreskin's seal broke, and it started bleeding. It's not bleeding now, but it's pretty painful and hard to pull back. I'm struggling to clean it because of the pain. I'm also worried I won't be able to have sex with my girlfriend until it heals. I've just been rinsing it with water for now. Do you think this is serious? How can I make it heal faster, and once it does, will I be okay to have sex again? I'm pretty worried about this situation and would really appreciate some advice.
Sounds like you may have experienced a tear in your foreskin, which can be quite painful. To help with the healing process and reduce pain, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to manage the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Once the tear has healed, you should be able to resume sexual activity with your girlfriend. However, it's important to give it time to heal properly before engaging in any sexual activity to avoid further injury or discomfort. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, it's important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

It's been 25 days since my ZSR circumcision surgery. The wound is mostly healed but I still have some side scars, and for the last 5 days, I've been having pain on the frenulum side. The doctor suggested massaging with vitamin E oil, but I'm not sure why the pain is still there. Feeling really stressed about it what could be causing this?

my urologist recommended surgery for phimosis but I'm not sure if it's the best option or if there are any side effects I should be worried about
It's understandable to have concerns about surgical options for phimosis, especially when you're unsure about the best course of action or potential side effects. Surgery for phimosis, often circumcision, is generally recommended when non-surgical treatments like steroid creams or manual stretching haven't been successful, or if the phimosis is causing significant problems like recurring infections or pain. Potential side effects of circumcision include infection, bleeding, and scarring, but these are usually manageable
