I'm really concerned because the skin on my penis doesn't retract at all when I'm erect. I'm not quite sure if I'm dealing with a tight skin issue, but it's been worrying me. What could happen if I decide not to get any treatment for this?

View allI've had varicocele for about a year now and it's really affecting my daily life - can't sit comfortably or ride without pain kicking in sometimes. Is there any way to manage this or get rid of it without needing surgery? What would you suggest for relief?
Varicocele management without surgery includes scrotal support and anti-inflammatory meds; surgery for severe cases.

I've had tight foreskin since I was a kid and thought it would loosen over time if I kept pulling it back, but now I'm 25 and it's still really tight. There's only about a 34mm opening to pee through, and I get this white stuff building up that causes itching. I'm worried surgery might remove the whole foreskin are there other options that can fix this without taking it all off?
Yes, there are non-surgical options to address phimosis (tight foreskin) in addition to circumcision. You can try stretching exercises, using topical steroid creams, and practicing good hygiene to potentially loosen the foreskin and alleviate the symptoms you've described. If those methods are not effective, there are also surgical options that can address the problem without necessarily removing the entire foreskin

I've noticed this white stuff under my foreskin for about 45 days now, and although it doesn't itch, I've found out online that it might be smegma. What can I do to get rid of it?
Numbness in your pinky and ring fingers could be due to: Pressure on the ulnar nerve (e.g., sleeping position) Cubital tunnel syndrome Carpal tunnel syndrome Thoracic outlet syndrome Vitamin deficiencies (e.g., B12) Consult a neurologist or orthopedic specialist to rule out underlying conditions.
