View allI'm 58 and have been married for over 30 years. I've got a problem where my foreskin is really tight, and my penis doesn't come out from it. It hurts a lot if I try to force it open. I've been having sex with the foreskin like this, but it's affecting my sex life. Even though I've got two healthy kids, I'm wondering if I should think about circumcision at my age. I've also been taking insulin for Type II diabetes for more than 20 years. Could you give me some advice?
consult to gynecologist.

I'm 36 years old, married, and we have one child. I've been noticing that during sex, my sperm is released quite quickly. Could you help me understand why this is happening and suggest some solutions?
Sounds like you may be experiencing premature ejaculation. You can try using a medication called Dapoxetine. This medication can help improve control over ejaculation and increase the time before ejaculation occurs. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

I've been dealing with frequent urination for the past two weeks and it's really getting to me. I've already tried antibiotics like Niftas and Flavospas, but they haven't helped at all. I seem to keep getting these UTIs over and over, and it's so frustrating. What else could be going on and what should I do next?
you need to get urine rm and culture, blood culture and proceed accordingly
