A tight foreskin (phimosis) can potentially cause issues during sex, but not always. Non-surgical treatments like steroid creams and stretching exercises can help loosen the foreskin

I'm really worried because my penis is only about 3.5 inches when it's erect and it doesn't stay fully erect for long. Is there anything I can do to increase its size or improve my erections?

I'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
