my foreskin doesn't pull back when I'm hard but it does when I'm soft is this phimosis? I've never had sex so I'm worried if it'll cause pain or if I'll need surgery for it

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed small red spots on the inner head of my penis. They showed up about 23 days after I had oral sex, and they're giving me a slight sensation. Could you please let me know what this might be and what steps I should take?

The small red spots on the inner head of your penis, accompanied by a slight sensation, may be caused by several factors related to oral sex. Here are some possible explanations: *Possible Causes* 1. *Irritation or Allergic Reaction*: Your partner's mouth or saliva might have caused irritation or an allergic reaction, leading to red spots and discomfort. 2. *Cuts or Micro-Trauma*: Minor cuts or micro-trauma during oral sex can cause red spots and sensitivity. 3. *STDs or STIs*: Certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections (STIs), such as herpes, syphilis, or gonorrhea, can cause red spots or sores on the genitals. 4. *Balanitis*: This is an inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by poor hygiene, irritation, or infection. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a Doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician, urologist, or a dermatologist to evaluate the red spots and determine the underlying cause. 2. *Get Tested for STDsSTIs*: Even if you're in a monogamous relationship, it's essential to get tested for STDsSTIs to rule out any potential infections. 3. *Practice Good Hygiene*: Maintain good genital hygiene, and avoid any further irritation or trauma to the affected area. 4. *Abstain from Sexual Activity*: Avoid any sexual activity until you've consulted a doctor and received proper guidance.

I've been diagnosed with a hypotonic neurogenic bladder and have been dealing with slow urine flow, sometimes medium. Allopathy and surgery don't seem to offer a permanent cure. Are there any permanent treatment options in Ayurveda or homeopathy? I've been struggling with this for 1.5 years and visited multiple hospitals without much success. What would you suggest?

While both Ayurveda and homeopathy offer alternative approaches, neither is considered a "permanent cure" for hypotonic neurogenic bladder. They focus on symptom management and improving overall well-being. A comprehensive approach, including medication, physical therapy, and potentially surgical interventions, may be necessary for a permanent solution
