Ive been experiencing this strange pain in the shaft of my penis, like its going to burst. It doesnt happen all the time, but now and then when my penis is erect. The pain seems to start from the middle and pushes out towards the sides. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

It sounds like you might be experiencing penile discomfort, possibly due to tension in the tissues or muscles during an erection. It could be related to conditions like Peyronie's disease, but I recommend seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment options tailored to your situation.

When I'm soft, my foreskin pulls back easily, but when I'm hard, it only goes halfway down the head and hurts if I try to pull it further. Could this cause issues during sex? Is there a way to fix it without surgery?

This condition could indicate phimosis. Stretching creams or manual techniques may help; surgery like preputioplasty or circumcision is done if needed.

I masturbate once a day and I'm curious if there's any harm in doing this regularly. It's become a nightly habit for me, and I'm just wondering if it might have any negative effects or if it's something I should worry about.

Masturbating once a day is generally considered normal for most individuals, as long as it doesn't interfere with daily activities, relationships, or cause any physical discomfort. It's important to listen to your body and ensure it doesn't become compulsive or negatively impact other aspects of your life. If you have concerns, its always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I'm 24 and dealing with really tight foreskin due to phimosis but I'm scared of surgery. Are there any steroid creams or other non-surgical options that could help loosen it?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
