I've had a downward bend at the tip of my penis for as long as I can remember, probably because my foreskin is attached to the glans. I tried cutting it myself a few years ago and it helped a bit, but the bend still happens when I'm erect. I attached a picture so you can see. Is surgery the only fix for this or could daily stretching work? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible

I'm really worried because while having sex with my wife, as soon as I went in, my penis started bleeding from the area where the foreskin is attached to the pee hole. Can you tell me what might be happening and what I should do?

I'm sorry to hear about this. Bleeding from the area where the foreskin is attached could be due to friction or irritation. It's important to keep the area clean and avoid further irritation. If the bleeding continues or you experience pain, it's advisable to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough examination and proper guidance.

I'm a bit worried because the foreskin of my penis used to be attached to the tip, but now it's come down and the head is exposed. It's super sensitive to touch, and I'd really appreciate some advice on how to make it less sensitive. Also, the foreskin isn't going back to the tip. I'm not sure why this is happening, and any help on both these issues would be great.
