I've recently started having sex without using a condom, and I've noticed that my frenulum is bleeding. Is this something that's common, or should I be concerned?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is not uncommon for the frenulum to tear or bleed during vigorous sexual activity, especially without the use of lubrication. To help with the healing process and prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day and keep the area clean. It is also recommended to abstain from sexual activity until the area has fully healed to prevent further injury.

View allI'm a virgin and recently got pretty intimate with my girlfriend over the weekend. We both decided to hold off on actual sex, so we spent hours fooling around without crossing that line. My penis would go hard for a while and then soften when we stopped, and this cycle happened a few times on Sunday. But when we finally thought about having sex later that day, my penis just wouldn't get hard. I'm wondering if it was because my penis was fatigued from being erect so often beforehand. Is it normal, or could there be another reason like maybe performance anxiety? Im confused because I was able to get erections earlier, so Im not sure whats going on. Any thoughts?
When the penis is repeatedly becoming erect and then returning to a flaccid state without ejaculation, it can lead to temporary difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection. This is because the penis may become fatigued from the repeated engorgement and relaxation of the blood vessels. In such cases, it is important to allow the penis an adequate amount of time to rest and recover before attempting sexual activity again. Additionally, ensuring that you are well-hydrated, well-rested, and not under excessive stress can also help improve erectile function. If this issue persists or if you have concerns about your sexual health, it may be beneficial to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

Non-surgical options like vacuum pumps or extenders offer minimal, often temporary gains. Be cautious of scams. Counseling may help if body image is affecting confidence.

I've noticed some skin rashes on my penis and a small area on the head that looks irritated. Im worried it might be balanitis. How should I treat this? Is there something specific I need to do or avoid?
Balanitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the glans penis; to treat balanitis, practice good hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, avoid irritants like harsh soaps or bubble baths, and apply topical creams or ointments like hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, or miconazole; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor or urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antibiotics or antifungal medications.
