I recently got married about three weeks ago and had great intercourse with my wife for four days straight. Once we tried on the 5th and 6th days, I started facing some erection problems. Can you please give me some advice on what might be happening?

I've recently noticed I have phimosis where my foreskin only retracts about half an inch when erect and it's a bit painful if I try to go further. When soft, it retracts a little more without pain but I'm too nervous to push it. I've read about treatments like steroid creams, stretching devices, and surgery but I'm not sure what's actually effective. What's the best non-surgical option for me?

This is known as paraphimosis and it's a medical emergency. Immediate treatment is needed to avoid serious complications like restricted blood flow to the penis. A doctor may be able to return the foreskin to its original position. Sometimes surgery to remove the foreskin (circumcision) may be recommended
