I'm an 18-year-old guy and I've got this really tight foreskin, like phimosis or something. I can't pull it back when Im hard and not even when Im soft. It moves a little but stops when the opening gets to about a centimeter. Trying to move it further hurts a lot, so stretching it seems impossible. I've never had sex, and Im worried about how this might affect things. Is having sex possible with this condition, or am I going to need circumcision? I'm really hoping to avoid that if I can.

-It's still possible to have sex with phimosis, but it may be uncomfortable or painful. You could try gentle stretching exercises or consult a doctor about other treatment options like topical creams or non-surgical methods, which may help avoid circumcis

I'm a 13-year-old boy and I've been really concerned about my habit of masturbation. I usually do it about twice a day, and lately, I've been feeling really tired and skinny. I'm worried there's something wrong. Are there any negative side effects I should know about? And if it's a problem, what can I do to reduce how often I masturbate? I'm kinda stressed about it and would appreciate any advice you have.

Excessive masturbation can lead to physical and mental health issues. It is important to find ways to reduce this habit. To avoid masturbation, you can try the following. Keep yourself busy with activities such as sports, hobbies, or spending time with friends and family. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to reduce stress and anxiety, which can trigger the urge to masturbate. Avoid triggers such as pornography or being alone in private spaces for extended periods. Seek counseling or therapy to address any underlying emotional issues that may be contributing to this habit. In addition, to help with your fatigue and weight loss, you may consider taking a multivitamin supplement to ensure you are getting essential nutrients. Also, try to maintain a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. If you continue to feel tired and skinny, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with a UTI about two weeks ago. This morning, I had a follow-up urine routine test to see if it's cleared up, but I'm not sure how to interpret the results. In one report, the latest is highlighted in yellow, and the other is from 14 days ago. Could you help me figure out if I'm still dealing with this infection or if it's finally gone?

I recently had a zsr circumcision on February 22nd and now all the staples along with the silicon ring have fallen off. There's just a tiny bit still attached to the skin and when I try to remove it, it hurts a little, which is really freaking me out. I'm worried that pulling it might cause some other issues. Could you tell me if it's safe to pull it off myself? Also, I'm curious if I can now engage in sexual activities like intercourse or masturbation.

It is not advisable to pull off the remaining portion yourself as it may lead to complications. I recommend visiting your doctor for proper evaluation and guidance on how to proceed. As for sexual activity, it is best to avoid it until you have fully healed to prevent any potential issues or infections.
