I'm dealing with paraphimosis and considering circumcision are there any side effects I should know about before going through with the surgery? Just want to make sure it's the right move for me.

With quick, proper treatment, the outlook for paraphimosis is very good. But if you can't put your foreskin back into position by yourself after treatment, you run the risk of getting paraphimosis again. That's why healthcare providers usually suggest circumcision.

I've noticed that the skin on the upper part of my penis doesn't open up properly, and the last time I had sex, it started bleeding and was really painful. I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice?

It sounds like you may have experienced a condition called **phimosis**, where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully. It's important to avoid any further trauma to the area. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider, preferably a urologist, for a proper examination and treatment options, which may include topical treatments or, in some cases, a minor surgical procedure.
