Question

I've recently noticed I have phimosis where my foreskin only retracts about half an inch when erect and it's a bit painful if I try to go further. When soft, it retracts a little more without pain but I'm too nervous to push it. I've read about treatments like steroid creams, stretching devices, and surgery but I'm not sure what's actually effective. What's the best non-surgical option for me?

This is known as paraphimosis and it's a medical emergency. Immediate treatment is needed to avoid serious complications like restricted blood flow to the penis. A doctor may be able to return the foreskin to its original position. Sometimes surgery to remove the foreskin (circumcision) may be recommended

Question

I've noticed that my penis is 4.5 inches when erect with a girth of 4 inches, and Im wondering if theres anything I can do to make it longer and bigger. I've seen pills being sold both in markets and online, and I'm curious if any of them actually work. If they do, could you recommend one? I'm also exploring if there are specific exercises or yoga that could improve blood flow to the penis. Also, if I increase my testosterone levels by using ashwagandha, will that have any effect on penis growth? I'm really looking for advice on this, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
