I've had this discomfort in the middle of my penis corona for quite a while, and it's really starting to bother me. It's not super painful, but it's irritating enough that I've had to change how I masturbate, and it's been swollen for a long time. I've also noticed that the pain tends to get a bit worse after each time I masturbate. I have had sex before, but that was quite some time ago, long before all this started. What could be going on here? Should I be worried about this swelling and irritation?

It sounds like you might have inflammation or irritation of the penis, potentially from overuse or unnoticed trauma. To help it heal, try reducing masturbation frequency, avoid tight grips, and keep the area clean and moisturized. If swelling or discomfort persists, please see a doctor to rule out infections or other concerns.

i have phimosis and cant retract my foreskin even when masturbating is it possible to have sex without retracting or do i need surgery i can move the skin a little but cant wear a condom properly

It's possible to have sex with phimosis, even without full retraction, but it may be uncomfortable or painful. Using a condom and ample lubricant can help. However, if the foreskin is severely tight, sexual activity could cause tearing or pain. Surgery (circumcision) might be recommended in more severe cases, but it's not always necessary

I've been having some recurring issues after sexual activity, where I notice dryness and tears on my penis. There are also these small red dots on the head of my penis, but they don't seem too noticeable. When I searched online, it suggested it might be related to a yeast or fungal infection. I'm not really sure what to make of it, though. Could you give me some advice or thoughts on what might be going on?

Your symptoms, such as recurring dryness, tears, and small red dots on the penis head, could be indicative of several conditions, including: 1. Yeast or fungal infections: As you've suspected, Candida or other fungal infections can cause these symptoms. 2. Balanitis: An inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by poor hygiene, fungal or bacterial infections, or allergies.To determine the cause and receive proper treatment, consult a healthcare professional, such as a urologist or a dermatologist. They can: 1. Conduct a physical examination. 2. Take a thorough medical history. 3. Perform diagnostic tests (e.g., swabs, blood tests). 4. Provide personalized guidance and treatment.
