It's possible your penile meatus (the opening at the tip of the penis) is narrowing, potentially due to meatal stenosis or a urethral stricture. While surgery is often the primary treatment for these conditions, dilation (stretching the opening) may be an option, and in some cases, the narrowing might resolve on its own or with other treatments. It's crucial to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations, as they can assess the severity and suggest the best course of action

When I'm soft, my foreskin pulls back easily, but when I'm hard, it only goes halfway down the head and hurts if I try to pull it further. Could this cause issues during sex? Is there a way to fix it without surgery?

This condition could indicate phimosis. Stretching creams or manual techniques may help; surgery like preputioplasty or circumcision is done if needed.

I have a 7x5 mm stone in my left vesicoureteric junction but all other reports are normal can it be treated with meds or do I need surgery

A 7x5 mm stone at the vesicoureteral junction (VUJ) can be treated with medication or surgery depending on individual factors. While some stones this size might pass naturally with medical expulsion therapy (MET), including pain management and increasing fluids, surgical intervention may be necessary, especially if the stone is causing obstruction or infection. The decision will depend on factors like the stone's location, your symptoms, overall health, and the potential risks and benefits of each treatment option

I'm wondering if using coconut oil under the foreskin is a good idea for keeping things clean, especially to prevent smegma. If coconut oil isn't recommended, what other options are there that I can try? Just trying to figure out the best way to maintain hygiene down there.

Using coconut oil under the foreskin can actually lead to a buildup of smegma and increase the risk of infections. A better substitute for keeping the area clean is to use a mild, unscented soap and warm water during daily hygiene routines. Additionally, applying a thin layer of over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day can help prevent smegma buildup and maintain proper hygiene.
