I'm 21 and have been masturbating since I was 16, but didn't know the foreskin was retractable until recently. Now when I do it, I pull my skin back to the ridge, but I've never really been able to ejaculate fullyit just sort of dribbles out. Also, I've noticed my penis has a slight left bend from the base when erect. I think that might be due to how I wore pants as a kid. Is there a way to actually shoot sperm, or is there something wrong with what I'm doing?

You may have a condition called phimosis, which is when the foreskin is tight and cannot be fully retracted. This can sometimes affect ejaculation. I recommend you try using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone to help loosen the foreskin. As for the slight curvature of your penis, it is likely not related to your pant wearing style and is quite common. To improve your chances of ejaculating, you can try using medications like Sildenafil before sexual activity. If these issues persist, it would be best to consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with this intense burning sensation in my penis all day long, especially when it's erect. It feels like the nerves are stretching too much, which makes the pain unbearable. It's gotten to the point where I can't even sit on a bike. I found out I have trichomonas from a urine test and have been on treatment for 13 days, but I'm not seeing much progress. This has been going on for about five months now, and I'm getting pretty frustrated. I'm wondering if this infection can actually last that long and how much longer it might take to see some improvement. I've done all kinds of tests like MRI, color Doppler, and still, after all this time, the trichomonas was found in my urine test. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?
I'm sorry to hear about your discomfort. Trichomonas infection can sometimes cause persistent symptoms, and it may take longer to fully clear up depending on the severity. Since you've been under treatment for 13 days without significant improvement, I recommend revisiting your doctor to reassess your treatment plan or check for any other underlying issues. Its important to ensure you're receiving the correct medication and follow-up care.

I have left reanal hydronephrosis with a 7mm ureteric calculus in the lower part and a small 3mm concretion in the lower calyx of my left kidney should I consider medicine or is surgery the better option here
Given the size of the ureteric calculus (7mm) and the presence of hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the better option for your situation. While a 3mm concretion in the lower calyx may be managed medically, the 7mm stone in the ureter and the associated hydronephrosis suggest a need for more definitive treatment.
