I've noticed something strange lately. My foreskin and penis were just fine before, the foreskin used to roll back without any issuesno tightness or pain. After a day of heavy masturbation, the foreskin suddenly became really tight and doesn't roll back as easily as it used to. If I try to force it back, it feels like an elastic band is squeezing my penis. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it?

It seems you're experiencing a condition known as:
Phimosis
or foreskin tightness. This can be caused by:
- Over-manipulation: Excessive masturbation or forceful retraction of the foreskin.
- Inflammation: Irritation or infection can lead to scarring and tightening of the foreskin.
Symptoms:
- Difficulty retracting the foreskin
- Pain or discomfort during retraction
- Tightness or constriction of the penis
To alleviate symptoms:
- Stop forceful retraction: Avoid pulling back the foreskin forcefully.
- Apply topical creams: Use topical corticosteroid creams to reduce inflammation.
- Practice gentle hygiene: Clean the area gently with mild soap and water.

View allI'm dealing with a curve in my penis that bends to the left, and it's making me feel really self-conscious. Is there any specific exercise I can do, or a proper way to masturbate, that might help make it straighter?
To address this issue, you can try performing penile stretching exercises to help straighten your penis. One common exercise is the penile traction method, where you gently stretch your penis in the opposite direction of the curve for a few minutes each day. Additionally, using a penile traction device may also help in straightening your penis over time. It's important to be patient and consistent with these exercises for them to be effective. Remember to be gentle and not forceful to avoid any injuries.

My penis is currently 5 inches long and 4 inches around, but I'd like to increase it to 7 inches in length and 6 inches in girth. Are there any safe surgical options to achieve this? I'm open to considering surgery if it's effective and reliable.
It is normal ,nothing to worry.If still facing issues please consult dermatologist.

I've been having this burning sensation when I pee, mostly in the mornings. It's way worse if I've had alcohol the night before. I've had my urine checked a couple of times, and there was a small infection. But if it's an infection, why isn't it going away? Its been nearly a year now. What could be going on with me?
Pregnancy Despite "Safe Days"_ 1. _Ovulation variability_: Ovulation can occur at different times each month, making it difficult to predict exact "safe days." 2. _Sperm longevity_: Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, increasing the chances of fertilization. 3. _Fertilization window_: The fertilization window can last up to 24 hours after ovulation. _Sylate (Contraceptive Pill) and Pregnancy_ 1. _Single pill omission_: Missing a single pill, even if it's the only one, can increase the risk of pregnancy. 2. _Hormonal imbalance_: The contraceptive pill works by regulating hormones. Missing a pill can disrupt this balance. _Next Steps_ 1. _Confirm pregnancy_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your healthcare provider to confirm the pregnancy. 2. _Prenatal care_: Begin prenatal care to ensure a healthy pregnancy. 3. _Discuss birth control options_: Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control options for future use.
