My foreskin is really tight and it's causing me discomfort. I don't want to go for surgery are there any other ways to loosen or remove the foreskin naturally? What can I do to fix this without an operation?

Topical steroids and stretching exercises are first-line—surgery is needed only if medical therapy fails.

I've been thinking about my habits recently. I used to masturbate a lot, but I've now stopped for about a week, and I haven't watched any porn either. Is it okay to completely stop, or is it healthier to do it every now and then?

Stopping masturbation for a week is unlikely to cause harm, and it's okay to abstain or reduce frequency voluntarily; whether to resume masturbation or maintain abstinence depends on personal preferences, values, and goals; consider focusing on overall physical, emotional, and mental well-being, rather than frequency of masturbation.

I've had phimosis since birth and live in East Delhi. I really don't want to get surgery are there any non-surgical treatment options I can try? What would you suggest?

One of the best home remedies for phimosis to cure phimosis without surgery is to gently stretch and retract the foreskin with the help of warm water and coconut oil. All you need to do is pour some lukewarm water over the penis, lubricate it with coconut oil and then try to retract the foreskin gently and gradually.
