I recently got married and whenever I try to have sex with my wife, the skin on my penis hurts because it hasn't separated properly. I don't want to remove all the skin, just the top part that's attached to the penis. What would be the cost of that? What should I do, and if there's surgery required, how much would it cost?

It sounds like you may have a condition called phimosis or tight foreskin. A minor procedure like a frenuloplasty or partial circumcision can address this without removing the full skin. I recommend consulting a urologist for an evaluation. Costs can vary but are typically around 10,000-30,000 in most clinics, depending on the procedure and location.

my frenulum is too short and tight making it uncomfortable is there any natural ways to stretch or loosen it without surgery i really want to avoid going under the knife

A short frenulum can sometimes be stretched with exercises or topical creams. If painful, minor surgery (frenuloplasty) is often effective.

I'm experiencing some discoloration on the top part of my glans after being treated for secondary phimosis with a cream from a dermatologist. Theres no pain or irritation, but the doctor mentioned it could be LSABXO and might not be treatable. Is there any way to treat this discoloration, and if it's not treated, what could happen? Also, I've noticed I can keep the foreskin retracted without feeling any tightness. Is it okay to do this auto-circumcision all the time?

Discoloration Treatment and Potential Complications 1. Treatment options: For the discoloration, similar to vitiligo, treatment options are limited. Your dermatologist may recommend: - Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. - Topical immunomodulators to modulate the immune response. - Phototherapy, such as narrowband UVB, to stimulate repigmentation. 2. Potential complications: If left untreated, the discoloration may: - Persist or worsen over time.
