My foreskin doesn't fully cover the head of my penis about 11.5cm is always exposed whether it's erect or not. It's been like this for years without any issues, but I recently read about paraphimosis and now I'm worried if I have it. Also, what exactly is circumcision surgery and would I need it
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Paraphimosis is a urologic emergency where the foreskin, once retracted, cannot be returned to its normal position, leading to a tight band around the glans of the penis. It's a medical condition primarily seen in uncircumcised or partially circumcised males

View allI'm dealing with phimosis and really don't want to get surgery. Can you tell me if betamethasone cream is available at local pharmacies without a prescription? Also, which brand or type would be most effective? I'm really stressed about this and need some guidance to manage it.
Immediate treatment is needed to avoid serious complications like restricted blood flow to the penis. A doctor may be able to return the foreskin to its original position. Sometimes surgery to remove the foreskin (circumcision) may be recommended.Yes, phimosis can often be managed without surgery. Non-surgical treatments like topical steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, and maintaining good penile hygiene can be effective, especially in children. For adults, similar treatments can be tried, and in some cases, balloon dilation might be an option

I'm having a bit of a concernlately, I've noticed that sperm is leaking while I'm asleep, and it happens about once every night. I'm really hoping to find a way to manage this without turning to medication. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I might be able to do about it?
Sperm leakage during sleep is a common issue known as nocturnal emissions or wet dreams. To help reduce the frequency of these occurrences, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing stress levels. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques before bed may help. Avoiding stimulating activities before sleep, such as watching explicit content or consuming caffeine, can also be beneficial. It's important to establish a regular sleep routine and ensure you are getting adequate rest. If the issue persists or causes distress, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider for further guidance.

I've got a penis that's 6 inches in length, and I'm curious if this is enough to satisfy a partner. Also, is there any chance it can grow more since I'm already past 20?
A 6-inch penis length is within the average range, and it is generally considered sufficient for sexual satisfaction. After 20 years of age, significant natural growth is unlikely, as most growth occurs during puberty. Satisfaction in sexual relationships is more about emotional connection and communication than size.
