My foreskin only pulls back to the head of my penis should it go all the way down? It seems to be loosening slowly on its own, but is there anything I can apply or take to help it stretch more without needing surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A partially retractable foreskin may improve with gentle stretching and topical steroid creams. Surgery is only needed if it interferes with hygiene or causes discomfort.

View allI'm a bit concerned because my sex life used to be good, but recently I've noticed my penis isn't getting erect like it used to. I'm not sure what's going on and it's worrying me. Could there be an underlying issue causing this?
Erectile dysfunction can have various causes, including stress, anxiety, underlying health conditions, or medication side effects. It is important to consult with a doctor to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can consider using medications like Viagra (sildenafil) at a starting dose of 50mg as needed, taken about 1 hour before sexual activity. However, please consult with a doctor before starting any medication for erectile dysfunction.
