My foreskin is really tight and won't pull back, causing pain and even cracks near the tip. My family doctor suggested circumcision, but I'm not sure which hospital or doctor in Chennai is the best for this. Also, I have medical insurance will they accept it for this procedure?

Tight foreskin with pain usually needs circumcision; check with urology hospitals in Chennai that accept your insurance.

I've got this little red spot right where my foreskin ends and the head of my penis begins, and it's been giving me some pain when I touch it. Sometimes it seems to spread to other areas on the head. Its starting to worry me a bit. What do you think could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

I'm having trouble pulling back the foreskin on my penis, and it's causing a really uncomfortable tightness at the tip during full erections and when trying to insert. On top of that, I'm dealing with premature ejaculation. Should I be seeing a urologist for this, or is a general surgeon the better option? Also, is there a connection between this issue with my foreskin, phimosis I think it's called, and premature ejaculation?

You should consult a urologist, as they specialize in genital and urinary tract issues, including phimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin) and premature ejaculation (PE); while phimosis and PE can coexist, they are not directly related, but treating phimosis through circumcision, preputioplasty, or frenuloplasty may help alleviate discomfort and tightness, which could indirectly improve PE symptoms, and a urologist can assess and address both concerns.
