View allI'm experiencing a lot of pain during sex and I'm not sure if it's because of a short frenulum or something else. I also have a hard time opening it properly when it becomes erect. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing pain due to a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis. This can be caused by a short frenulum. I recommend using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone (0.05%) to help loosen the foreskin. Apply a small amount to the tight area twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. If this does not improve your symptoms, you may need to consider a circumcision or a frenuloplasty procedure. Please consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.

I've had a hydrocele on my left side for about 5 years now, and initially, doctors said it was normal and didn't need treatment. But last month, my doctor recommended surgery. I'm really trying to avoid surgery are there any other options? I've been doing a fruit diet and cold hip baths, but I'm not sure if that's enough. What else can I try?
While a fruit diet and cold hip baths might offer some temporary relief, they won't resolve a hydrocele. Once a hydrocele persists or becomes large enough to cause discomfort or becomes unsightly, surgery (hydrocelectomy) is generally the recommended treatment, according to multiple sources. Other options like aspiration and sclerotherapy may be considered, but they often come with a higher risk of recurrence than surgery.

I've got a sore red spot on the head of my penis, and I can mostly see it when I pull the foreskin back. I've been using a ring guard, but it's healing really slowly. Any suggestions on what medicine I can use to speed up the healing? I'm starting to worry a bit.
