I'm having some discomfort during intercourse because my frenulum feels really tight and it hurts when my foreskin stretches. Is there any way to loosen the frenulum? Would love some advice on this.

You may be experiencing frenulum breve, which is a condition where the frenulum (the band of tissue connecting the foreskin to the underside of the penis) is tight and causes pain during erection. One option to help loosen the frenulum is by using a topical steroid cream, such as Betamethasone cream. You can apply a small amount of Betamethasone cream to the tight frenulum twice a day for several weeks to help loosen it. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any treatment.

I've been noticing that I'm peeing more than 10 times a day, and right after I go, I feel this urge to drink water again. Could this be a sign of something going on with my bladder?

Risk of pregnancy- Very low to negligible. Why ?-1. Precum (pre-ejaculate) contains fewer sperm than semen. 2. You wiped off the precum immediately. 3. No ejaculation occurred. 4. No penetration took place (most probably). Her menstrual cycle:* 1. Day 14-16 of her cycle (September 8-10) would be ovulation time (assuming 28-day cycle). 2. Since the incident occurred on September 11, ovulation likely passed.
