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.

Had surgery for primary obstructive mega ureter two months ago where they also removed two stones. Still have five stones left in my kidney, and recovery's been rough. Now they found a urethral stricture and dilated it two weeks back. Should I be worried about the remaining stones or the stricture coming back? What's the next step here?

I've had kidney stones for over 20 years with 7 surgeries already. Now there's a 6mm stone at the VUJ and my doctor prescribed cifaxime 200, Uritin 04, and aquzide 12.5. Right now, I only feel sharpness in my penis and discomfort around that area no back pain or bleeding. Can a stone this size pass naturally or do I need to worry?

There are several factors which predict some passage. Size of stone, duration, inflammation etc. Need more information.

I'm dealing with low motility in my semen and I'm really focused on improving it. I'm already sticking to a healthy diet, but I'm curious if there are any medicines you'd recommend to help boost motility? Any advice would be really appreciated!
