I've had paraphimosis for about 3-4 days now and it feels like something's stuck under my foreskin when I pee, just a little bit. I've been masturbating daily and pulling my foreskin back for weeks could that be the cause? Is there any way to fix this without surgery?

It's possible that your daily masturbation and foreskin retraction are contributing to the paraphimosis, as it can lead to inflammation and swelling. While some cases of paraphimosis can be treated without surgery, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention, especially if you're experiencing pain or difficulty urinating

I'm noticing that my penis curves to the left and I'm a bit concerned about it. I was wondering if switching to my right hand for masturbation might help straighten it out? Does the hand I use actually affect the curvature? Would love some guidance on this.

A slight curve in the penis is usually normal and often doesn't require treatment. Using your right or left hand for masturbation won't change the curvature. However, if the curve is significant or causing discomfort, its a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions such as Peyronie's disease.

My foreskin doesn't retract properly do I need to get circumcised before getting married? What are my options?

No, you don't need to get circumcised before marriage just because your foreskin doesn't retract properly. This condition, called phimosis, is not a medical emergency or a requirement for marriage. However, if phimosis causes pain, discomfort, or other issues, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor about treatment options. These options can include steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, or, in some cases, circumcision.
