Every time I have sex with my wife, I end up with cuts on my foreskin. It's the same problem after I masturbate too. It's really painful, and the itching while they heal is driving me crazy. Could you recommend a cream or ointment that'll help with this?

You may be experiencing some irritation or friction during sexual activity leading to cuts on your foreskin. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. Apply a thin layer of the ointment on the cuts twice a day after gently cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can also use a soothing cream like Aloe Vera gel to help with the healing process and reduce itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

How can you tell the difference between congenital phimosis and adult-onset phimosis? Also, does having phimosis mean someone is impotent? And is there a way to treat congenital phimosis without needing surgery, maybe using something like betamethasone cream?

Congenital phimosis is present from birth, where the foreskin cannot be retracted due to a tight opening, while phimosis in adults often develops due to scarring or infection. Phimosis is not considered impotence, as it primarily affects the foreskin's ability to retract, not erectile function. Betamethasone cream can be effective in mild cases of congenital phimosis by reducing inflammation and allowing easier retraction, but surgery may still be required for more severe cases.

I've been having this issue where I wake up in the middle of the night because of an unexpected ejaculation, and I have to rush to the bathroom. It's followed by a lot of urination. This is only the second time its happened, but I really want to stop this from becoming a bigger problem. Ive already cut out things like masturbation because it was affecting my concentration and mood, and I'm worried this involuntary discharge is going to have the same negative effects. I've understood how important it is to preserve seminal fluid and really want to make sure none is lost. I'm hoping you can help me out with this.

Visit Psychiatrist for appropriate help amd take your wife to Gynaecologist for evaluation
