I'm really concerned because about an hour ago, I masturbated in the washroom and afterwards noticed the head of my penis turned a yellowish color. I'm worried about what this color change could mean. Is this something serious? What steps should I take to address this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

A temporary yellowish discoloration of the penis head after masturbation is likely due to irritation, friction, or minor trauma, and may be accompanied by swelling or redness; apply a cold compress, maintain good hygiene, and avoid further irritation; if the discoloration persists, is severe, or accompanied by discharge, pain, or difficulty urinating, consult a urologist

My foreskin is too tight to pull back and the doctor said it might be phimosis. Will using a cream help or is surgery the only option?

Topical steroid creams are often the first line of treatment for phimosis, and they can be effective in making the foreskin more pliable and easier to retract. If creams are not sufficient, surgery, such as circumcision or preputioplasty (a less invasive procedure), may be considered
