I'm having some trouble with my foreskin. It doesn't roll back as much as it's supposed to, and when I try to pull it down more, it starts to hurt. I'm really hoping to find a solution that doesn't involve surgery. Do you have any advice on what I might be able to do to fix this? It's really starting to affect my life, and I'd appreciate any guidance you can offer.

You likely have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract; to resolve this without surgery, your doctor may recommend gentle manual stretching exercises, topical steroid creams like betamethasone to reduce inflammation, or preputioplasty devices that help gradually stretch the foreskin; it's essential to consult a urologist

I was wondering when it's safe to start masturbating again after my surgery. The stunt is due to be removed in about four weeks, and I haven't been feeling any pain.

I'm only able to ejaculate a few drops of sperm and it happens pretty quickly. Plus, I feel really worn out after. Is this normal? Do you know of any home remedies that can help with sperm production?

Its normal for sperm volume and ejaculation time to vary, but consistently low volume or premature ejaculation may need attention. Feeling very tired afterward can be linked to stress or lifestyle factors. Focus on staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet rich in zinc (nuts, seeds, dairy), and managing stress. If the problem persists, consult a doctor for further evaluation.
