I'm really concerned because I've noticed a bump on the shaft of my penis. It's got these little holes at the base where some white stuff is coming out. Initially, it was just shiny and pink, but now it's started to bleed a bit. I'm really worried that it could be cancer. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

I'm feeling really down about the size of my penis. It's 5 inches when erect, which I think is around 12 cm. I'm worried if this is normal or if there's something wrong. Can you tell me if my size is within the normal range?

Your penis size of 5 inches (12 cm) when erect is within the normal range. The average erect penis size globally is around 5-5.5 inches, and size does not usually affect sexual satisfaction or fertility. Try to focus on overall health and confidence rather than size.

During erection my foreskin sticks to the glans and only goes just below the head. I've heard steroid cream might help would that work for me? I don't feel pain during full erection, but the foreskin stays stuck below the glans. Also, when I masturbate, no semen comes out. Can this be fixed without surgery? Is this phimosis?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
