My penis doesn't fully retract when erect but works fine when flaccid are there any non-surgical options to help with this? Worried it might cause issues and looking for alternatives.

Phimosis during erection may need stretching creams or steroid ointments; surgery only if tightness worsens or pain persists.

View allI'm a 21-year-old guy, and I've been wondering about something that's been on my mind. I tend to masturbate almost daily, sometimes up to three times a day, or at least once. Also, I've been having sex with my girlfriend, maybe around 32 times. I'm curious to know if this might have any impact on my health now or in the future. Does what I'm doing pose any risks?
Masturbating 1-3 times a day and having sex with your girlfriend 2-3 times a week is generally considered a normal and healthy frequency for a 21-year-old male; however, it's essential to maintain a balance, as excessive masturbation or sexual activity can lead to fatigue, decreased libido, or relationship issues, so prioritize communication with your partner, practice safe sex, and focus on overall physical and mental well-being.

I'm experiencing a ticklish sensation in my penis for the last four days after masturbating. I've been drinking a lot of water and peeing frequently, which gives me temporary relief. But during the end of urination, I feel this strange sensation in my lower abdomen, though nothing actually hurts. I'm sure it can't be an STD since I'm a virgin. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
This could be a sign of urinary tract irritation or inflammation. I recommend taking a course of an over-the-counter medication called Phenazopyridine (brand name Pyridium) to help relieve the discomfort and burning sensation during urination. Additionally, you may also consider taking a medication like Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) to help reduce any inflammation in the urinary tract. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential irritants. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
