my son has tight foreskin and the doctor diagnosed it as phimosis and recommended surgery but he doesn't have any issues with urination or pain during erections I've heard that at his age phimosis can be treated with stretching exercises and steroid creams instead of surgery can you guide me on the right approach

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

View allI'm really into fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular gym workouts and a balanced diet. But I'm kind of worried about something that I haven't found a clear answer for. Does masturbation more than twice a week have any negative effects on my health? And if I do it on consecutive days, is that harmful in any way? Just trying to understand if it's affecting my fitness journey or overall health in any way.
Yes you can take no problem.

I've been experiencing this persistent itching in my penis after having sex, and I'm getting worried because I can't seem to pull the outer skin back. It happens every single time. Can you tell me what might be going on or what I should do?

I'm noticing that my penis sometimes shrinks in the middle and looks kind of out of proportion. It's strange because I haven't had any kind of sexual experience, although I do masturbate. This happens either after I masturbate, before taking a hot shower, or just randomly during the day when I look at it. But whenever I get an erection, everything seems normal. It's only an issue when it's flaccid. Is this something I should be worried about? Could masturbation be causing damage, or is this just a normal thing? I'm really hoping for some advice.
It sounds like you're experiencing temporary changes in the size and appearance of your penis when flaccid, which is completely normal. The size can vary due to factors like temperature, arousal, or even anxiety. Masturbation does not cause permanent damage; if you're concerned, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for reassurance and guidance.
