I'm worried about whether I might have Frenulum breve. I can't fully retract my foreskin when my penis is erect, but I can do it when it's semi-erect or flaccid. Is that enough reason to think I have this condition?

-Frenulum breve is when the frenulum (the band under the penis head) is too short, limiting foreskin retraction, especially during an erection. If you can retract it only on a flaccid or semi-erect penis, it could be a sign, but it's best to consult a doc

I'm 24 and have been experiencing some issues due to over-masturbation, like lower erection, semen leakage, and fatigue. I also find it hard to concentrate, and I feel like my strength is decreasing, which is messing with my mental state. I'm thinking about trying kohinoor gold plus and shilajit capsules to help with these side effects. Do you think they could be effective for someone in my situation?
