I'm an 18-year-old guy and I've got this really tight foreskin, like phimosis or something. I can't pull it back when Im hard and not even when Im soft. It moves a little but stops when the opening gets to about a centimeter. Trying to move it further hurts a lot, so stretching it seems impossible. I've never had sex, and Im worried about how this might affect things. Is having sex possible with this condition, or am I going to need circumcision? I'm really hoping to avoid that if I can.

I have a 7mm lower ureteric stone and right now I'm feeling pain at the tip of my penis along with some burning sensation There's also mild pain in the upper bladder area but no kidney pain at the moment I'm taking dynapar lasix and alfoo tablets Do you think this stone can pass naturally or will I need surgery

A 7mm stone in the lower ureter might pass naturally, but it's not guaranteed. The pain you're experiencing, especially at the tip of your penis and burning sensation, could indicate a potential issue. pain can shift around as the stone moves through the urinary tract.
