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.

View allI'm curious about using coconut parachute oil for massaging my penis. My goal is to make it smoother, harder, and larger, aiming for a more satisfactory size. Is this an effective method, and are there any risks I should be aware of?

I've been diagnosed with a 10mm ureteral stone stuck at the EVJ and the pain is really bad. My family has a history of uric acid stones, so chances are this is one too.

I'm dealing with phimosis and really don't want to get surgery. Can you tell me if betamethasone cream is available at local pharmacies without a prescription? Also, which brand or type would be most effective? I'm really stressed about this and need some guidance to manage it.
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.Yes, phimosis can often be managed without surgery. Non-surgical treatments like topical steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, and maintaining good penile hygiene can be effective, especially in children. For adults, similar treatments can be tried, and in some cases, balloon dilation might be an option
