I'm really concerned because during sex, my foreskin doesn't seem to retract properly, and it's starting to get more painful. Is there something I can do to fix this issue, or should I be worried about it getting worse?

If your foreskin is not retracting (a condition called phimosis), it can cause pain or difficulty during sex. Using prescribed steroid creams or gentle stretching exercises might help, but if the issue persists, consult a urologistcircumcision or a minor surgical procedure may be necessary for permanent relief.

I'm 24 and dealing with really tight foreskin due to phimosis. I'm really scared of surgery and want to know if there are any other ways to treat it without going under the knife. Can you suggest any non-surgical options that might help?
Steroid creams for phimosis This makes it easier to retract the foreskin without experiencing severe pain or discomfort. Just apply the cream or ointment in the area around the head of the penis twice or thrice a day. After using the ointment for about 2 weeks, gradually and gently try to retract the foreskin.

I'm a 21-year-old guy, and I've been wondering about something that's been on my mind. I tend to masturbate almost daily, sometimes up to three times a day, or at least once. Also, I've been having sex with my girlfriend, maybe around 32 times. I'm curious to know if this might have any impact on my health now or in the future. Does what I'm doing pose any risks?
Masturbating 1-3 times a day and having sex with your girlfriend 2-3 times a week is generally considered a normal and healthy frequency for a 21-year-old male; however, it's essential to maintain a balance, as excessive masturbation or sexual activity can lead to fatigue, decreased libido, or relationship issues, so prioritize communication with your partner, practice safe sex, and focus on overall physical and mental well-being.
