I'm 22 and just realized I have this phimosis condition because I can't retract the foreskin on my penis, whether it's normal or erect. I thought it was normal until I read about it online and talked to some friends. I'm really scared of having surgery like circumcision. Can you explain what causes phimosis and what my options might be?

View allI'm dealing with some itching under the skin of my penis head, and when I wash it, I sometimes notice white smegma. Occasionally, there's even a reddish ring under the skin. I've been struggling with this for about a year and a half now. I've visited a couple of doctors and followed their prescriptions for antibiotics and creams, but it always comes back about two weeks after I finish the medication. Do you think circumcision might be a good solution to get rid of this issue once and for all? I'm really unsure about what to do next.
Yes its bettr to get circumcision done ,visit general surgeon for appropriate management

Hey, I've been dealing with some issues for the past few years and I'm a bit worried about what's going on with my body. It started about four years ago with dark yellow urine and a burning sensation, sometimes it even looked cloudy and foamy. I'm not sure if it's dhatu rog or maybe a urine infection. Then after a year, I began to experience leg pain, muscle aches, and back pain, especially after sitting or standing for a long time. Now, things have gotten worse. My legs hurt all the time, and sitting on a chair makes it worse. I also feel a lot of rectum pressure, leg aching, and discomfort in the genital area, particularly between my testicles and the anus area with pain and burning. My urine feels oily too and there's constant rectum pressure, plus I often feel the need to pee urgently within 10 minutes. There's also this feeling of stomach fullness. When I sit on the toilet, my legs ache, my testicles get tight and swollen, and my penis feels very small with a burning sensation. Could this all be a vitamin D issue or something else? Any advice you can give would be helpful.
Kindly get your urine test done . and get back with result
