I'm 22, and I've noticed that while my penis foreskin retracts normally, it doesn't pull back when I'm erect. The tip stays covered, and I'm not sure what this means or what I should do next. Could you help me figure this out?

I'm having a bit of a concernlately, I've noticed that sperm is leaking while I'm asleep, and it happens about once every night. I'm really hoping to find a way to manage this without turning to medication. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I might be able to do about it?

Sperm leakage during sleep is a common issue known as nocturnal emissions or wet dreams. To help reduce the frequency of these occurrences, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing stress levels. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques before bed may help. Avoiding stimulating activities before sleep, such as watching explicit content or consuming caffeine, can also be beneficial. It's important to establish a regular sleep routine and ensure you are getting adequate rest. If the issue persists or causes distress, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider for further guidance.

I'm worried because I tore my frenulum a few days ago, and I'm wondering how long it'll take to heal. How can I tell when it's fully healed?

The healing time for a torn frenulum can vary depending on the severity of the tear. In general, it may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for the frenulum to heal completely. You will know it is healed when the pain and any bleeding have stopped, and the skin appears to be fully healed without any open wounds or scabs. To help with the healing process, you can keep the area clean and dry, avoid any activities that may cause further injury, and consider using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to manage any discomfort. If you experience persistent pain, excessive bleeding, or signs of infection, it is important to seek medical attention.
