I have tight foreskin and I'm really uncomfortable with the idea of surgery are there any other treatments or solutions I can try

Preputioplasty is effective In children with congenital tightening of the foreskin. Several incisions are made into the tip of the foreskin to expose the head of the penis. The foreskin then needs to be retracted regularly until it has healed completely.

I'm a bit concerned because I had intercourse with my wife around 5 pm, and when we tried again at 8 pm, I noticed that I didn't ejaculate. I'm not sure what's going on, and it's got me worried. Could there be a reason or an issue I should be aware of?

It is not uncommon for some men to experience delayed ejaculation, where there is a delay or difficulty in ejaculating. This can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. It is important to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to this problem. If this issue persists, you may consider speaking with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a condition called balanitis, and it's been going on for quite a while now. Could you suggest any creams or tablets that might help?

Hi there i understand your concern regarding your genital health...The main cause of balanitis is poor hygiene. Poor hygiene causes harmful bacteria to overpopulate the area, which can lead to infection...it can be fungal as well... Clinical examination is necessary to diagnose it and to rule out other possible conditions....you may require antibiotic or antifungal creams..Before applying any treatment option, it is important to avoid using irritants such as perfumed soap, lotion, or powder. This prevents further irritation of the foreskin...Consult nearest dermatologist they will do the needful.
