My foreskin doesn't retract like it should it's not super tight but still won't go back. I'd rather avoid surgery are there any medications or treatments that could help with this?

If your foreskin isn't fully retracting and you'd like to avoid surgery, a topical steroid cream or ointment is often recommended. These medications can help soften and loosen the foreskin, making retraction easier. In some cases, gentle stretching exercises can also be beneficial.

View allI'm having a problem with the skin on my penis not retracting during sex with my partner. It seems like it's not opening properly. I've been using oil whenever we have sex, but I'm not sure if that's okay. Is there something I should be doing differently, or should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing tightness of the foreskin, a condition known as **phimosis**, which can make it difficult for the skin to retract during sex. Applying a lubricant, such as oil, can help reduce friction, but its important to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and explore treatment options, such as gentle stretching exercises or, in some cases, medical intervention.

I've been having some issues after having unprotected sex about 3 months ago. My penis is looking a bit shiny and there's this itching, plus sometimes it burns a bit when I touch the foreskin. Im getting pretty worried. I want to get tested for all STDs and STIs in Kolkata. Can you point me in the right direction for this?
visit your nearest STD clinic or you can visit Dermatologist where you get yourself tested and exact STD kit for the disease would resolve this. It is curable no need to worry, visit Dermatologist as soon as possible

I've been married for a year and a half, and I'm having trouble with penetration even when I'm erect. My wife is getting wet enough, but whenever we try, I just can't penetrate. What's going on, and how can we fix this?
This could be due to a condition called **vaginismus** (involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles) or psychological factors like performance anxiety. I recommend consulting a doctor to evaluate both partners, as this can often be treated with counseling, exercises, or therapy. Youre not alone in thishelp is available.
