I've been having some trouble with my foreskin since I can't pull it back when my penis is erect, and it really hurts when I try. I'm wondering, could this be phimosis or maybe paraphimosis? Also, I'm curious if there's a way to treat this without surgery, or is surgery the way to go? If I do need surgery, is it safe to have it done at my age, and should I be worried about any side effects?

You may be experiencing phimosis, which is the inability to fully retract the foreskin over the head of the penis. This can cause pain and discomfort, especially during erections. Phimosis is different from paraphimosis, which is a medical emergency where the retracted foreskin cannot be returned to its original position. For phimosis treatment, you can try using topical steroid creams such as Betamethasone or Hydrocortisone. These creams can help to soften the foreskin and make it easier to retract. You can apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to the tight area twice a day for a few weeks. If conservative treatments do not work, then circumcision surgery may be recommended.

View allI've been feeling a burning sensation at the tip of my penis since having rough oral sex three days ago. There arent any sores, swelling, or marks, and I havent noticed any fluids or pus. I'm pretty stressed about it but wondering if it could just be some kind of soreness. What do you think?
It is possible that you are experiencing irritation or inflammation due to the rough oral sex. To help alleviate the burning sensation, you can try using an over-the-counter topical cream like lidocaine gel to numb the area. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Premature ejaculation can be caused by factors like stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, or relationship issues. To overcome it, focusing on relaxation techniques, communication with your partner, and possibly seeking professional advice for behavioral therapy or medication can help. Don't hesitate to consult a healthcare provider for a tailored plan.

I'm experiencing a problem where I ejaculate too quickly during sex, and then when I try to go for a second round, I'm not able to continue. This wasn't an issue earlier in my marriage. I'm feeling a bit worried and confused about where to go for help. Should I see a urologist or a sexologist, or maybe consider ayurvedic treatments for this? What would be the best option?
-It's common to face such issues due to stress or lifestyle changes. You can consult a urologist or a sexual health specialist for evaluation and treatment options. Ayurveda can also help improve stamina and address concerns naturally.
