I'm a 22-year-old guy and I'm having a bit of a situation. My foreskin doesn't seem to retract on its own when I'm erect, and I can't really pull it back manually either because it's too tight. I can pull it back fine when I'm not erect though. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

It sounds like you have phimosis, which is a common condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully during an erection. Regular gentle stretching exercises with a steroid cream prescribed by a doctor can help, but if it persists, consult a urologist to discuss further options like a minor surgical procedure (circumcision or preputioplasty).

My 71-year-old father was diagnosed with prostate cancer after a biopsy showed grade 24. The doctor recommended removing his prostate gland and testis, but he's currently taking homeopathic medicine like sabal serulata 200. Is surgery really necessary at this stage, or can his condition be managed with medicines? We're open to homeopathy, Ayurveda, herbal treatments, or even combining them with allopathy if it helps avoid surgery.

I'm 18 and I've been masturbating a lot lately, about 10 times continuously in the past couple of weeks. I stopped now, but I've noticed my hands and other body parts are shaking. I'm really worried if this could have any serious effects on my health or future. It's causing me a lot of internal stress. Can you help me understand what's happening and how I can deal with this? I'm feeling pretty scared.

I'm wondering about this situation during intercourse - when I insert my penis into my partner's vagina, it feels unusually hot, but once I take it out, everything feels normal again. Is this something that I should be concerned about, or is it relatively common?

It's not uncommon for some women to experience warmth or discomfort during intercourse due to increased blood flow or friction. However, if this sensation persists or is accompanied by pain, it may be a sign of irritation, infection, or other issues, so it's best to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
