I'm having a bit of an issue and I'm really curious about what's going on. I seem to need constant stimulation to keep an erection; otherwise, it goes away in about 10 seconds. I'm physically fit and have no problems with blood pressure, cholesterol, or sugar levels. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this? Its just a bit worrying since everything else seems fine.

I'm a 29-year-old guy dealing with phimosis and a really tight foreskin. Is there any way to treat this without having to go through surgery? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible

Yes, there are non-surgical ways to treat phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract. Topical steroid creams and gentle stretching exercises can often be effective, especially in less severe cases.

My foreskin won't pull back over my penis should I be considering surgery or are there meds that can help with this? It's been really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it.

If your foreskin won't pull back over your penis and is causing discomfort, you might have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract. Treatment options include topical steroid creams and, in some cases, surgery like circumcision or frenuloplasty
