I'm really worried because I've been having issues with frequent urination and my testes are really painful. I recently had some urine culture tests done, and they came back negative. Could it still be possible that I have chlamydia, even though the test didn't show anything? I'm trying to understand what else could be causing these symptoms.

Yes, it is possible to have chlamydia even if your urine culture test is negative. Chlamydia is often diagnosed through a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) or a DNA probe test rather than a urine culture. Since you are experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination and testicular pain, it is advisable to get tested specifically for chlamydia using a NAAT or DNA probe test. If diagnosed with chlamydia, the treatment involves a course of antibiotics such as Azithromycin or Doxycycline, as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

My foreskin is really tight and I can't pull it back all the way. I don't want surgery are there any creams or ointments that can help loosen it quickly?
Yes, certain creams and ointments, often containing steroids, can help loosen a tight foreskin (phimosis) and make it easier to retract without surgery. Topical steroids like betamethasone valerate, fluticasone propionate, hydrocortisone, or triamcinolone can soften and loosen the skin. These creams are often used in conjunction with gentle stretching exercises

I'm really struggling with some issues regarding my penis. It seems to have gotten quite small, and I feel awkward when I'm peeing because I make an effort to hide it from others. When it does get hard, it's not as firm as I'd like, and I often experience early leakage. Can you guide me on what might be happening and suggest possible solutions?
The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches. There's more variation in the size of flaccid penises. Some guys are genuinely smaller than that. In rare cases, genetics and hormone problems cause a condition called micropenis ...Sometimes Peyronie's disease can reduce a guy's size. Losing weight will reveal more of that hidden shaft that's buried beneath belly fat. It doesn't actually increase your size, but it will look that way..
