I'm really worried because the foreskin on my penis feels super tight. It can move down when my penis isn't erect, but once I get an erection, it just won't retract. When I try to push it back, it feels like it's going to tear because it can't stretch any more. I even tried pulling it down when not erect and then getting an erection with the foreskin already down, but it resulted in pain. What if this condition persists until I'm ready to have sex? Can you guide me on what to do?

Circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare provider. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed, and it is often an effective treatment for severe cases of phimosis. It is important to address this issue before engaging in sexual activity to prevent any potential pain or complications. If you have persistent concerns or the condition does not improve with conservative measures, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking for some advice. Can I have sex with my partner using Viagra or a similar medication on the day her egg ruptures for pregnancy? Last time, we missed that crucial day because of performance stress. Also, I'm wondering, does using Viagra affect the quantity or quality of sperm in any way?

Taking Viagra should have no effect on sperm qualitymorphology. You can use it during your partner's ovulation period safely. If your erectile dysfunction persists or worsens, it may be advisable to consult a specialist.

I have cryptorchidism that wasn't treated when I was younger and now I'm 19 with no pain. What should I do next? Which hospital department handles this condition? Is there any medicine I can try with a doctor's guidance or is surgery my only option? Between orchiopexy and orchiectomy, which one would be better for me?

At your age, if you have cryptorchidism with no pain, it's essential to consult with a urologist or pediatric urologist. They can assess your specific case, discuss treatment options, and help you make an informed decision. While surgery is usually recommended, the specific procedure (orchiopexy or orchiectomy) depends on various factors, including the testicle's condition and your individual circumstances
