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.

View allI've been noticing that I get a cut on the upper skin of my penis every time I have sex or masturbate. It's just at the tip and sometimes it itches with a small drop of blood showing up. I've tried so many ointments but nothing seems to work. I'm 45 and this whole situation is really affecting my sex life. Can you please help me figure out what might be going on?

I'm a 19-year-old guy and I've been masturbating for about six years, but lately, especially in the last year, I've been doing it more frequently. Now, I've noticed that my penis seems smaller than it used to be and I'm getting stressed about it. Is there a way to get my size back? Could too much masturbation affect my size? Would appreciate any advice or help.
Masturbation doesn't directly affect penis size, but frequent or aggressive masturbation can cause temporary swelling, bruising, or penile fatigue, creating an illusion of shrinkage; to alleviate concerns, consider reducing masturbation frequency, practicing gentle techniques, and focusing on overall physical and mental well-being, including exercise, healthy diet, and stress management.

My foreskin is really tight and hard, making it difficult to pull back. Is this something serious? Do I need surgery to fix it?
A tight foreskin, known as phimosis, is not always a cause for concern, especially in children, as it can naturally loosen as they grow. However, if it's painful, prevents proper hygiene, or leads to complications, it may require treatment, which could include steroid creams or, in some cases, surgery.
