I'm really worried because I've noticed the hole in my penis seems to be getting larger, and I think it might be because Ive been masturbating a lot. Is there anything I can do to get it back to its original size?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as urethral meatal stenosis, where the opening of the urethra becomes enlarged. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In some cases, a topical steroid cream may be prescribed to help reduce the size of the opening. Additionally, if the enlargement is causing any discomfort or issues with urination, a surgical procedure called meatoplasty may be recommended to repair the opening of the urethra.

I'm noticing that my foreskin and glans have become red, and sometimes there's a bit of irritation on the foreskin, with a burning-like feeling. Right now, I'm using coconut oil during the day and Nizral cream at night. I'm wondering if I should consider getting circumcised to solve this issue, or if there's something else I could try first. Any advice?
