Is it safe to have sex if my partner has phimosis where only a small part of the head is visible Should we consider surgery or are there other options
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's possible to have sex with phimosis, even if only a small part of the head is visible, but it might be more comfortable or cause less discomfort with some precautions. Surgery might be an option if phimosis causes pain, irritation, or complications like infection

View allHey, I'm a 14-year-old guy and I've been going through something weird recently. Every time I masturbate, I get these super sharp, cramp-like pains in my stomach. It lasts for about a minute or so, and if I move around too much, I get the pain again but it feels like it's moving up towards my chest. I usually do it every day, so I'm kinda worried and wondering what's going on. Any idea what this could be?
Overexcitement_: Rushing into intercourse can lead to premature ejaculation. 2. _Lack of control_: Insufficient practice in controlling ejaculation can contribute to the issue. 3. _Performance anxiety_: Fear of not satisfying your partner can exacerbate the problem. _Solutions_ 1. _Practice relaxation techniques_: Regular relaxation practices, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation, can help reduce anxiety and improve control. 2. _Exercise pelvic floor muscles_: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through Kegel exercises can help improve ejaculation control. 3. _Use the "stop-start" technique_: During intercourse, stop when you feel close to ejaculation, wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and then resume. 4. _Try the "squeeze" technique_: When you feel close to ejaculation, squeeze the base of your penis or the head of your penis to delay ejaculation. 5. _Consider counseling or therapy_: A sex therapist or counselor can help you address underlying issues and develop strategies to improve your sexual performance. 6. _Topical anesthetics or delay sprays_: Certain products, like lidocaine or benzocaine sprays, can help reduce sensitivity and delay ejaculation. _Remember_ 1. _Communicate with your partner_: Openly discuss your concerns and work together to find solutions. 2. _Practice patience and persistence_: Overcoming premature ejaculation takes time and effort.

I'm having trouble with my foreskin not being able to open or stretch properly. Are there any creams or gels available in India that can help with this? I really want to avoid having surgery. Any advice would be appreciated.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is tight. There are non-surgical options, such as steroid creams (like betamethasone), which can help stretch the foreskin. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before using any treatment to ensure it's suitable for you.

My foreskin doesn't retract like it should it's not super tight but still won't go back. I'd rather avoid surgery are there any medications or treatments that could help with this?
If your foreskin isn't fully retracting and you'd like to avoid surgery, a topical steroid cream or ointment is often recommended. These medications can help soften and loosen the foreskin, making retraction easier. In some cases, gentle stretching exercises can also be beneficial.
