My foreskin won't pull back whether I'm hard or soft should I see a dermatologist or a urologist for this? Also, if surgery is needed, how long does recovery usually take?

You should see a urologist for a non-retractable foreskin (phimosis). If surgery like circumcision is needed, recovery usually takes 1–2 weeks with minimal downtime.

I'm really concerned because the frenulum on my penis seems to be partially torn, and now I don't experience the same level of pleasure or sensitivity as I used to during orgasms. There's no bleeding, just a bit of pain. I'm wondering what steps I should take and which type of doctor would be best to consult about this issue.

The torn frenulum can lead to decreased pleasure and sensitivity during orgasm. You can use a topical anesthetic cream containing Lidocaine to help with the pain. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen. It is advisable to consult a Urologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried about something and hoping you can help. Does masturbating too much cause any issues like varicocele? I'm also curious about other side effects of masturbation, especially if it can harm the testicles in any way.

Masturbating excessively does not directly cause varicocele, which is a condition where the veins inside the scrotum become enlarged. However, frequent masturbation can lead to temporary testicular pain or discomfort.
