I saw a video about phimosis and it mentioned it could lead to fungal infections should I be worried even if I haven't had any issues yet? Can it be treated with meds or is surgery the only option? If surgery is needed, are there any side effects? Also, could phimosis be affecting my penis size, and is there any way to increase it with medication?

Don't ignore this problem. It may cause you other sexual disorder in future. May be its your initial stage so you shouldn't ignore this problem otherwise it will badly effect on your sexual life.You do massage with olive oil and almond oil twice a day. Try some vacuum therapy, kegel exercise and jelqing exercise. Start eating a healthy diet like green vegetables like spinach, cabbage, kale etc contribute to male enhancement. Also citrus fruits like avocado, orange, and lemon that are rich in Vitamin B9.

I'm really curious about how I can make my penis muscles stronger. Do Kegel exercises help with that, or should I focus on other physical exercises too? I want to know which exercises are the most effective for strengthening those muscles.

To strengthen the penis muscles, focus on exercises that target the pelvic floor muscles, such as Kegel exercises, which involve contracting and releasing the muscles that stop urine flow; other beneficial exercises include pelvic tilts, bridges, and squats; additionally, physical exercises like weightlifting, running, and swimming can improve overall cardiovascular health and blood flow, which can also benefit penis health; remember to also practice good lifestyle habits, such as maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and getting enough sleep.
