My foreskin is really tight and I can't pull it back all the way. I don't want surgery are there any creams or ointments that can help loosen it quickly?

Yes, certain creams and ointments, often containing steroids, can help loosen a tight foreskin (phimosis) and make it easier to retract without surgery. Topical steroids like betamethasone valerate, fluticasone propionate, hydrocortisone, or triamcinolone can soften and loosen the skin. These creams are often used in conjunction with gentle stretching exercises

My foreskin won't pull back all the way it only goes down a little before it starts hurting. I really don't want surgery, so what else can I do to fix this? It's really bothering me and affecting my daily life.

Paraphimosis is a medical emergency in which you can't draw your foreskin back down over the head of your penis. It can happen if you have a partially circumcised or uncircumcised penis. You must get treatment as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage to your penis.

I'm really worried because I've been having these pus cells in my urine and dealing with body aches, fever, and feeling really dehydrated. It's been burning when I pass urine too, which is super uncomfortable. I already tried some allopathic medicine, but it didn't help at all. Can you tell me what might be going on and what I should do next?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a urinary tract infection (UTI), which can cause the symptoms you're describing, such as fever, body pain, dehydration, and burning during urination. Since the alopathic medication hasn't provided relief, I recommend revisiting your doctor for further evaluation and possibly a different treatment approach or additional tests to address the infection effectively.

I've been feeling worried about my penis size. It's around 6 inches long but not very thick, and I've heard that thickness can be really important for sexual intercourse. I'm wondering if there's a doctor here who can help me with this. Are there any medicines or other methods that can help increase my penis thickness? It's something I'd really like to improve.

It's completely normal to have concerns about body image, but it's important to understand that size and thickness are often less significant than factors like intimacy, trust, and communication in relationships. There are no proven medications or treatments for increasing penis thickness. If you're still concerned, I recommend speaking to a urologist for personalized advice and support.
