My foreskin is really tight and won't pull back no matter how hard I try is there any way to fix this without surgery? I've heard about stretching or steroid creams do those actually work?

Yes, it's possible to manage a tight foreskin (phimosis) without surgery. Stretching exercises and topical steroid creams are effective non-surgical treatments.

I'm a 21-year-old guy with a tight foreskin, and it's making me nervous about sex because I'm worried it'll hurt. I've been thinking about circumcision but don't know much about the procedure or what to expect after. Should I bring someone with me when I get it done, and roughly how much does it cost in Bangalore? Also, how long does recovery usually take? I really want to get this sorted soon since it's been bothering me a lot.

Consult a local surgeon. It's a minor surgery.

I don't usually masturbate regularly, but when I do, I end up with this annoying pain in my lower back that sticks around for like a week or more. If I happen to do it again before the pain goes away, it just gets worse. The pain's really bothersome, making it tough to walk or even lie down comfortably. I'm thinking it might have something to do with my prostate gland, but I'm not really sure. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like the pain youre experiencing could be related to muscle strain or tension in your lower back, rather than directly involving your prostate. However, if the pain is persistent or worsening, I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions such as prostate issues, muscular problems, or nerve involvement. They can help provide a more accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.

I've had this issue for about 20 days now. It started with a light bluish discoloration on my glans, and then turned whitish. Sometimes there's a mild burning sensation over the glans too. Usually, its pink in color. What could be going on? Should I be worried about this change?

If the discoloration persists or worsens after trying basic care measures. If you have other symptoms, like discharge, fever, or severe pain. cosult urologist
