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).

View allI'm really curious about how I can make my penis muscles stronger. Do Kegel exercises help with that, or should I focus on other physical exercises too? I want to know which exercises are the most effective for strengthening those muscles.
To strengthen the penis muscles, focus on exercises that target the pelvic floor muscles, such as Kegel exercises, which involve contracting and releasing the muscles that stop urine flow; other beneficial exercises include pelvic tilts, bridges, and squats; additionally, physical exercises like weightlifting, running, and swimming can improve overall cardiovascular health and blood flow, which can also benefit penis health; remember to also practice good lifestyle habits, such as maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and getting enough sleep.

I tried to get my penis erect by watching porn today, but it just didn't work. Is this something normal? Would love to know what you think.
It's not uncommon for people to experience temporary difficulty achieving an erection due to factors like stress, fatigue, or even performance anxiety. If this issue persists, it could be helpful to evaluate your overall physical and mental health, and consulting a healthcare provider might be beneficial for further guidance.

I recently had a sonography on May 2nd, 2019, which showed a 6.1mm stone in my lower ureter. For the last five days, I've had constant pain in my lower back and lower left side in the front. I've been taking cystone tablets and drinking lots of water since then. Is there a chance the stone might pass on its own, or is surgery the only option? I can urinate fine without burning, but sometimes I notice a bit of blood in my urine. What should be my next steps?
