I'm 26 and dealing with phimosis my foreskin won't retract past the head of my penis. I really don't want to get surgery. Are there other ways to manage this or make it better?

Question

I'm really worried about this S aureus balanitis thing. I have these bowel issues and some impetigo on my foreskin, and it's been treated but I'm still in a lot of pain all over my body. Can you tell me if this is normal or if there's anything else I should be doing?

Question

I've been having issues with frequent urination and incomplete emptying of my bladder for years now, and honestly, it's really frustrating. I've seen a urologist and went through all sorts of tests like kidney and abdomen ultrasounds, cystoscopy, blood sugar checks, and everything came back normal. I've also taken different medications for urinary and bladder infections, as recommended by my doctor, but nothing has worked. Lately, I've noticed this white liquid occasionally in my urine at night, and it's freaking me out a bit. I've tried so many things, but I'm not seeing any results. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
