I have stage 1 phimosis where I can pull back my foreskin when flaccid but not when erect. Intercourse isn't an issue, but I'm unsure if I need treatment. Some suggest surgery while others recommend coconut oil and exercises. What's the best approach for this should I treat it or leave it alone?

I'm noticing that when I pee, there are two streamsone's stronger and the other's weaker. This causes a lot of spraying, but there's no pain or burning. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Could this be something I should be worried about?

The presence of two streams of urine, with one being weaker, and spraying, without pain or burning sensation, could be indicative of a urethral stricture, bladder neck contracture, or a condition called urethral duplication, but it's essential to consult a urologist
