I'm 58 and have been married for over 30 years. I've got a problem where my foreskin is really tight, and my penis doesn't come out from it. It hurts a lot if I try to force it open. I've been having sex with the foreskin like this, but it's affecting my sex life. Even though I've got two healthy kids, I'm wondering if I should think about circumcision at my age. I've also been taking insulin for Type II diabetes for more than 20 years. Could you give me some advice?

I'm worried about my tight frenulumit's making it hard for me to pull my foreskin down. Is there anything I can do at home to help with this? I'm looking for some advice on possible remedies or exercises that might make it easier to manage.

To help alleviate a tight frenulum at home, try gentle stretching exercises: 1) massage the frenulum with gentle circular motions, 2) use a lubricant and slowly stretch the frenulum while pulling the foreskin down, and 3) repeat exercises 2-3 times a day; however, if the frenulum is severely tight or causing discomfort, consult a urologist

I'm really concerned because the frenulum on my penis seems to be partially torn, and now I don't experience the same level of pleasure or sensitivity as I used to during orgasms. There's no bleeding, just a bit of pain. I'm wondering what steps I should take and which type of doctor would be best to consult about this issue.

The torn frenulum can lead to decreased pleasure and sensitivity during orgasm. You can use a topical anesthetic cream containing Lidocaine to help with the pain. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen. It is advisable to consult a Urologist for further evaluation and management.
