I'm a 22-year-old guy and I'm having a bit of a situation. My foreskin doesn't seem to retract on its own when I'm erect, and I can't really pull it back manually either because it's too tight. I can pull it back fine when I'm not erect though. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

It sounds like you have phimosis, which is a common condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully during an erection. Regular gentle stretching exercises with a steroid cream prescribed by a doctor can help, but if it persists, consult a urologist to discuss further options like a minor surgical procedure (circumcision or preputioplasty).

View allI'm wondering if the way my sperm comes out during masturbation can affect my fertility. It doesn't really squirt out forcefully like a jet; it kind of just dribbles out. Should I be worried about this?
-A decrease in the force of ejaculation, like dribbling instead of a strong jet, doesnt necessarily affect fertility. Its more important to consider sperm count and motility, which can be assessed through a semen analysis. If you're concerned, it's

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've got some worries about my penis size. I'm around 5.4 feet tall and weigh 74 kg. My size is about 5.3 to 5.4 inches, and I just don't feel okay with it. Is there anything I can do to increase it? What's the best way to go about this?
It's important to know that there are no medications or treatments that have been scientifically proven to permanently increase penis size. However, there are surgical options available such as penile implants or injections, but these come with risks and are usually reserved for individuals with medical conditions affecting the penis. For non-surgical options, you can try penile exercises such as jelqing or stretching exercises, but it's important to be cautious as these may cause injury if not done correctly. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol intake can help improve overall sexual health. It's important to remember that penis size does not determine sexual satisfaction, and communication with your partner is key. If you have further concerns, I recommend speaking with a urologist for personalized advice and guidance.
