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've been having issues with urination and ejaculation the flow speed is really slow. My doctor mentioned it might be a urethral stricture and suggested surgery, but I'm worried about how this could affect my chances of conceiving. Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments that could help improve the flow?
Urethral stricture can sometimes be managed with dilation or endoscopy—fertility impact is rare; consult a urologist for personalized options.

I recently realized I have an undescended right testicle I can feel it just above the penis on that side. Is it still possible to descend the testicle at my age? If surgery is an option, how do I bring this up with my parents? Also, will having one testicle affect my sperm count or sexual health in the long run? Can I still have a normal sex life with just one?
Yes, surgery (orchiopexy) may still be an option depending on your age and the position of the testicle—consult a urologist for evaluation. It’s best to discuss this openly with your parents as it’s a common condition. Having one healthy testicle is usually enough for normal sperm production and sexual function. Most men with one testicle lead a completely normal sex life and can father children.
