I'm dealing with tight foreskin where I can pull it back normally when soft, but during an erection it's really painful and tight around the head almost like a burning sensation. I'm not sure if my frenulum is tight too. Is there any way to fix this without surgery?

It sounds like you may have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully and comfortably. This can cause pain and discomfort during erections, potentially from a tight frenulum as well. Non-surgical treatments can help, including topical steroid creams and gentle stretching exercises

My semen analysis is normal but I have varicocele and the doctor said surgery isn't needed. I also have a lot of chest fat and was told it's gynecomastia. Could the varicocele be causing this? Are there any natural ways to reduce the gynecomastia without surgery?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
