I'm kind of worried about my foreskin. It's become swollen and there are some cut-like marks on it. It's been like this for about a month now. Its difficult to move the foreskin back and there's a burning sensation when I touch the area. Could you suggest some medicine or what I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal and anti-inflammatory cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg to help with the burning sensation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

View allI'm worried about whether I might have Frenulum breve. I can't fully retract my foreskin when my penis is erect, but I can do it when it's semi-erect or flaccid. Is that enough reason to think I have this condition?
-Frenulum breve is when the frenulum (the band under the penis head) is too short, limiting foreskin retraction, especially during an erection. If you can retract it only on a flaccid or semi-erect penis, it could be a sign, but it's best to consult a doc

I'm 21 and I've been dealing with spermatorrhea. I'm thinking about getting a hormone test to see what's going on. Could you suggest which hormone tests I should consider?
For spermatorrhea, it's important to assess your hormonal balance. You should consider tests like testosterone levels, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin. A consultation with an endocrinologist or urologist will help guide you further based on your symptoms.
