I'm feeling a bit concerned because all of a sudden my foreskin has gotten really tight. Could this be some kind of infection? It's started to hurt after I get an erection, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Do you think this is something I should be worried about?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is tight and difficult to retract. This can be due to inflammation or infection. I recommend using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone 0.05% twice a day on the tight area for 4-6 weeks. If the symptoms persist, circumcision may be necessary to relieve the tightness and pain.

Question

I'm having some trouble with my foreskin when my penis is erect. The head is fully visible, but the foreskin seems a bit attached to the backside of the head and won't fully retract down the shaft. It's making me a little concerned. What should I do about this?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed a change in my urine color; it's turned orange. I'm also experiencing some stomach discomfort. Could this be caused by taking Supradyn capsules? And if it's not related to that, what else might be causing orange urine?
