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.

I'm a bit concerned after having sex for the first time this past Friday night. I've noticed some pain in my penis because the skin seems to have peeled. The front part has gotten pretty red too. The pain's a bit better than a couple of days ago, but it's still there. Do you have any advice on what I should do?

To alleviate the discomfort, apply a topical antibiotic cream, keep the area clean, and avoid further irritation if the pain persists, or you experience difficulty urinating, increased redness, or swelling, consult a urologist for further guidance.

I've been considering taking sildenafil zenegra 100mg every day and I'm wondering if it could change the consistency of my sperm. Will it become more watery instead of its usual creamy and thick texture?

Using sildenafil (Zenegra) daily doesn't directly affect the consistency of sperm, which is typically creamy and thick. However, some men may experience changes in semen volume or appearance as a side effect, but it's not a common or expected outcome. If you're concerned, it's best to discuss this with your doctor for personalized advice.
