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

I've been having this dull pinch sensation in my penis whenever I'm straining, stressing, or even just sitting or standing. It first showed up during a regular masturbatory sessionnothing too rough. It's been hanging around for the last several weeks, and now I've noticed a purple spot on the glans corona, right where I feel the pinch. It kind of looks like a bruise. Just recently, the sensation seems to be happening less often and isn't as intense. What could be going on?

Wash the wound*: Immediately wash the bite area with soap and water. 2. *Seek medical attention*: Consult a doctor for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and wound care. *Foods to Avoid* To minimize the risk of infection and promote healing: 1. *Spicy food*: Avoid spicy food, as it can irritate the wound. 2. *Oily food*: Oily food can slow down the healing process. 3. *Sour food*: Sour food can increase the risk of infection. 4. *High-sodium food*: High-sodium food can increase swelling and delay healing. 5. *Raw meat and seafood*: Raw meat and seafood can increase the risk of infection. 6. *Unpasteurized dairy*: Unpasteurized dairy products can contain harmful bacteria. *Foods to Eat* Focus on nutrient-rich foods that promote healing: 1. *Leafy greens*: Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and collard greens are rich in vitamins and minerals. 2. *Citrus fruits*: Citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, and lemons are high in vitamin C, which promotes healing. 3. *Berries*: Berries like blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins. 4. *Nuts and seeds*: Nuts and seeds like almonds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds are rich in healthy fats and protein. 5. *Whole grains*: Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and whole-wheat bread provide essential fiber and nutrients. Remember to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and other fluids.
