My foreskin covers the glans a bit and I can't fully retract it when I'm erect. Is this something that might need surgery or can it be managed another way?

If your foreskin only covers the glans slightly and you can't retract it fully, it might not need surgery. You could try gentle stretching exercises, or a urologist may recommend steroid creams. Surgery (circumcision) is a last resort if the condition causes pain or recurrent infections.

Question

I'm a bit confused and worried about something that's been happening during sex with my wife. After intercourse, I notice this thread-like sticky substance coming from my penis, and I'm trying to figure out if it's sperm or just precum because my penis becomes smaller and slips out afterwards. I'm 42 and not sure if this is normal or something I should be worried about. Can you help me understand what's happening?

Question

I'm 22 and I've been dealing with ejaculation during sleep for the past 45 days. I know it's pretty common, but this has been happening continuously. I usually masturbate once a week or maybe twice a month, and when I do, it's about 3 to 4 times in one go. But I haven't done that for around 15 to 20 days now. Is this normal, or should I be worried?
