My foreskin feels really tight when I get an erection and it's causing discomfort. I don't have issues when I'm not erect, but during arousal, it gets too tight. Is there any way to fix this without surgery? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible.

I'm really worried and just need some advice. So, I had a situation where I rubbed my bare penis on the outside of my partner's vagina, and there was some precum involved. I'm really concerned about the possibility of this causing a pregnancy. Is this something I should be worried about?

Yes, you can be pregnant if precum comes in contact which contains sperms

I'm 28 and my penis head doesn't fully come out - will this cause issues during sex? Are there any non-surgical treatments that could help with this?

A tight foreskin (phimosis) can potentially cause issues during sex, but not always. Non-surgical treatments like steroid creams and stretching exercises can help loosen the foreskin

I've been dealing with a kidney stone for about a week now - it's 4.2 mm in size. Every morning I get this sharp pain and it's really uncomfortable. I'm already getting treatment but I'm worried if this might need surgery or if it can pass on its own

can pass by its own with lots of fluid.
