Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin can't be pulled back from the head of the penis. It's normal in babies and small children, and they usually grow out of it. It can also be caused by infections, scar tissue, and skin diseases, and may need to be treated with steroid cream or surgery

I've been going to the bathroom a lot after getting my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and I also had a fever last night. I spent the entire night having to urinate every half hour. I'm really worriedis this a side effect of the vaccine or could it be something else?

Frequent urination after a COVID-19 vaccine isn't a common side effect, but the fever you experienced might have triggered increased urination due to fluid intake or changes in your body's response. If this continues or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.
