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've been struggling with a really tough problem. I used to be addicted to porn and would masturbate around 8-9 times a day. Now I'm having trouble getting erections and my penis seems to have shrunk a bit. What kind of treatment would you recommend for this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing physical and psychological effects from frequent masturbation and porn use. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional to assess your situation. Treatment may include counseling for addiction, lifestyle changes, and possibly medication to support erectile function.

I had surgery at 18 for a urinary infection that left my penis deformed. Now at 33, my penis is only about an inch when erect even when watching films, and my testicles don't react they're very small and don't seem to function. I feel tense with a fast heartbeat when aroused, and while there's some blood flow, my penis stays small. I'm always inactive and worried about this. Could this be hormonal or related to my past surgery? What could be causing this lack of response?

normal nothing to worry ok.
