I'm experiencing cracks on my foreskin after having sex, and sometimes they last for a few days before coming back after intercourse. I've noticed a whitish-grey discharge building up on my foreskin and the head of my penis. It goes away after washing, but then it returns the next day. The skin around the head seems like it might have an infection. I've tried using coconut oil and curd since I read online that it might be a fungal or yeast infection. Also, my wife had a UTI with white discharge recently. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and suggest a possible treatment?

The symptoms suggest a possible yeast infection (candidiasis) or balanitis, often linked to infections like UTI in partners. Avoid home remedies like coconut oil, as they may worsen irritation. Wash gently with warm water, avoid soaps, and consider an antifungal cream after consulting a Dr. Both you and your wife may benefit from a medical check-up to address potential infection and prevent recurrence.

I'm a 25-year-old guy and my parents are pushing me to get married. But here's the thing, I get really nervous and scared whenever I think about it. The main issue is that my penis doesn't stay strong and if it does, I ejaculate in like 30-40 seconds. I've had a habit of watching porn 247 for about three and a half years, though I stopped a few months back. Once, I tried having sex with a woman who was willing, but I got so scared, my heart felt like it was beating ten times faster than usual. Even when we just talked on the phone, I'd feel something coming out of my penis. Is there anything I can do to sort this out? Any advice would be really helpful.
It's understandable that you're feeling anxious, but this situation is more common than you might think. Anxiety and past habits like excessive porn consumption can affect sexual performance. Its important to focus on improving your mental health, reducing stress, and allowing time for recovery. Consider speaking with a healthcare professional or a therapist to guide you through these issues and develop a plan to regain confidence and improve your well-being.
