My foreskin won't pull back and it's really uncomfortable is there any way to treat phimosis without surgery? I'm worried about the pain and recovery if I go under the knife. Are there creams or stretches that actually work?

Topical steroid creams, stretching exercises, and non-surgical rings help many mild phimosis cases—try these before opting for surgery.

I'm having some issues with erection and premature ejaculation, and it's starting to really affect me. Im feeling a bit embarrassed and not sure what to do next. Can you give me some advice on how to deal with this?

To address erection and premature ejaculation issues, consider the following steps: consult a urologist or sexologist to rule out underlying medical conditions; practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation to reduce performance anxiety; try pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises) to strengthen muscles; adopt the "stop-start" or "squeeze" techniques to delay ejaculation; and consider cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or counseling to address psychological factors; additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, balanced diet, and sufficient sleep, can also help alleviate these issues.
