The tip of my penis has been swollen since this morning, and I masturbate pretty regularly. I came across some information that said it might be from excessive or forceful masturbation. The swollen part is really sensitive and it hurts whenever it touches anything. It's painful even during simple activities like walking or doing chores. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will just heal on its own?

I'm dealing with kidney stones again and since yesterday I've been feeling a burning sensation when I pee. Last time this happened was in June 2021, but the burning went away in a day. This time it's not getting better. I recently had wrist surgery and I'm on some meds for that could they be causing this pain? What should I do? I can't see a doctor right now because of the surgery.

I've always been really good at sex, but over the last ten years, I've been masturbating at least 3 to 6 times a day. I used to be able to perform 6 times a night, but now, even though I still masturbate daily, I find myself ejaculating too early, like within 15 seconds during sex. It's been getting worse, and I feel weaker when it comes to sex. What should I do about this?

I'm having trouble with my foreskin not being able to open or stretch properly. Are there any creams or gels available in India that can help with this? I really want to avoid having surgery. Any advice would be appreciated.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is tight. There are non-surgical options, such as steroid creams (like betamethasone), which can help stretch the foreskin. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before using any treatment to ensure it's suitable for you.
