I'm feeling a burning sensation at the tip of my penis, especially when I pee. I've been having unprotected sex, and I'm getting really worried. Could it be an infection or something else serious? What should I do next?

Burning sensation in the penis tip area, mostly while urinating, can be a sign of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Since you are sexually active and engaging in unprotected intercourse, it is important to get tested for STIs. I recommend you take an antibiotic like Azithromycin 1g as a single dose and Ceftriaxone 250mg intramuscularly. Additionally, drink plenty of water to help flush out any infection. It is also important to practice safe sex to prevent future infections.

I'm worried about my tight frenulumit's making it hard for me to pull my foreskin down. Is there anything I can do at home to help with this? I'm looking for some advice on possible remedies or exercises that might make it easier to manage.

To help alleviate a tight frenulum at home, try gentle stretching exercises: 1) massage the frenulum with gentle circular motions, 2) use a lubricant and slowly stretch the frenulum while pulling the foreskin down, and 3) repeat exercises 2-3 times a day; however, if the frenulum is severely tight or causing discomfort, consult a urologist
