I've had this tight ring around my penis foreskin for years now - I can pull the skin back when soft but it hurts during erections and sex. Sometimes the skin even tears because of that tight band. It's not phimosis but I really don't want surgery - are there any medical treatments that could help with this?

While it sounds like you might have a condition similar to phimosis (tight foreskin), where the foreskin can't fully retract, and you're experiencing pain during erections, there are non-surgical options that can help. These include topical medications, gentle stretching exercises, and maintaining good hygiene.

View allI've been masturbating about two or three times a week, and I'm worried if this could lead to impotency. I feel like my penis isn't as big as it was when I was 18, especially when it's flaccid. I can see nerves on it and also on the back of my hands. Does this mean Im getting weaker or is it normal? Am I doing it too often? Could this increase my risk of diabetes, because my mom has it?
Diabetes occur through hereditary also but not all the cases,and masturbation does not lead to impotent

How many times should a person urinate per day?
Most people urinate between six and eight times a day. But if you're drinking plenty, it's not abnormal to go as many as 10 times a day.

I'm 26 and I've been masturbating regularly since I was 16. Lately, I've noticed that my penis seems smaller and it won't get erect unless I'm watching porn or engaging in phone sex. I'm really worried about this and I'm not sure what to do. Could this be a real problem? Any advice would be appreciated.
It's common to develop certain habits like relying on porn or phone sex for arousal, which can affect natural stimulation. This doesn't mean permanent damage. Try reducing reliance on porn gradually, focus on healthy lifestyle changes, and consult a doctor or therapist for personalized guidance to address concerns about erectile health and confidence.
