Phimosis can be managed with various treatments; possible solutions include topical steroid creams or ointments to reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin, manual stretching exercises under medical guidance, preputioplasty (a surgical procedure to widen the foreskin), or circumcision (a surgical procedure to remove the foreskin); consult a urologist or a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment.

I'm from Dibrugarh and think I might have a short frenulum. I can retract my foreskin but it doesn't feel quite normal. Sex isn't painful or anything, but after reading up online, I'm wondering if frenuloplasty could make things more comfortable. Should I consider surgery or is it fine as long as it's not causing issues?

I'm planning to start a family, but I've been struggling with getting a proper erection lately. I've never had problems before, and my sex life used to be good.
