My foreskin is too tight to pull back and the doctor said it might be phimosis. Will using a cream help or is surgery the only option?

Topical steroid creams are often the first line of treatment for phimosis, and they can be effective in making the foreskin more pliable and easier to retract. If creams are not sufficient, surgery, such as circumcision or preputioplasty (a less invasive procedure), may be considered

My father has been dealing with frequent urination and a burning sensation when he pees. We saw a doctor who recommended tests like Haemogram, CUE, PSA, HBA1C, and an ultrasound scan of the pelvis and abdomen. Everything looked fine except the PVR was 500ml. Now they've done a cystoscopy and are suggesting TURP surgery. Is this the right time to go for surgery, or should we wait and try more medications? Can this be managed with just medicines?

if conservative therapy fails ,TURP is advised.

I'm only able to ejaculate a few drops of sperm and it happens pretty quickly. Plus, I feel really worn out after. Is this normal? Do you know of any home remedies that can help with sperm production?

Its normal for sperm volume and ejaculation time to vary, but consistently low volume or premature ejaculation may need attention. Feeling very tired afterward can be linked to stress or lifestyle factors. Focus on staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet rich in zinc (nuts, seeds, dairy), and managing stress. If the problem persists, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with weak erections and really early ejaculation, which I think might be from a lot of masturbation during my teenage years. It's super frustrating, and I'm just wondering how I can fix this issue now. Any advice on how to tackle this?

To address this issue, you can try using medications such as Viagra (Sildenafil) for improving erections and Priligy (Dapoxetine) for managing premature ejaculation. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, engaging in regular physical exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help improve your sexual function.
