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 a 24-year-old and I've been using Viagra to have better sex. I'm worried because it's become a habit, and over the past year, my penis isn't getting as erect as it used to. It would get hard about 2 to 3 times a day before, but now it doesn't. Even during sex, it gets hard but goes soft really quickly. I'm wondering if this is happening because of the Viagra, and Id really like some advice on what I should do.
Taking Viagra regularly without medical advice can sometimes lead to psychological dependence, where natural erections feel less strong or consistent. Stress, anxiety, or underlying health issues can also contribute. To address this, avoid further use of Viagra for now, focus on a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep), and consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment options, such as managing psychological or hormonal factors.

I have a 12mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really hoping to avoid it. Are there any other options or treatments that could help pass or dissolve the stone without going under the knife?
It is impossible to pass a 12 mm kidney stone as it is too big to move through the urinary tract. Also, such a big kidney stone is highly unlikely to dissolve through oral medication and thus requires surgery for safe removal.

I'm kind of worried because I've been masturbating regularly for about four years now, and I feel like it's affecting my stamina. It's become a habit, and I'm not sure how to stop. Are there any side effects I should be concerned about? What can I do to quit?
