I've been experiencing some discomfort with my foreskin lately. It's gotten really dry at the tip and it's even starting to crack, which is quite painful. I've also noticed some white patches around there. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to treat it?

my frenulum is too short and tight making it uncomfortable is there any natural ways to stretch or loosen it without surgery i really want to avoid going under the knife

A short frenulum can sometimes be stretched with exercises or topical creams. If painful, minor surgery (frenuloplasty) is often effective.

I've been dealing with a urine infection since this morning. I'm not experiencing much itching or pain, but I feel a constant pressure to pee frequently. There's no intense pain or burning, just a slight burning sensation for a couple of seconds when I actually pass urine. I've been drinking a lot of liquids to help with this. Can you suggest any medicine or remedies since I can't find a doctor nearby right now?

It sounds like a mild urinary tract infection. Continue drinking plenty of water, as this helps flush out bacteria. If symptoms persist or worsen, take a urinary alkalizer like potassium citrate sachets (e.g., Cital) to ease burning. Seek medical advice soon for a proper antibiotic if needed. Rest well!

I'm dealing with tight foreskin where I can pull it back normally when soft, but during an erection it's really painful and tight around the head almost like a burning sensation. I'm not sure if my frenulum is tight too. Is there any way to fix this without surgery?

It sounds like you may have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully and comfortably. This can cause pain and discomfort during erections, potentially from a tight frenulum as well. Non-surgical treatments can help, including topical steroid creams and gentle stretching exercises
