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).

I'm a 28-year-old male with phimosis, and while it hasn't caused me any major issues so far, I'm a bit worried because it seems unusual to still have this at my age. Is there any way to treat phimosis without surgery? It's kind of embarrassing, and I'm not sure if this is normal for someone my age.
Topical steroid creams and stretching exercises may help phimosis. It's not uncommon in adults and treatable without surgery in many cases.

Im having a hard time controlling myself when I feel the sudden urge to urinate. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
