I'm 23 years old and I've noticed that my foreskin is attached to the tip of my penis, and it's painful when I try to pull it back. I'm really anxious about getting a circumcision, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to detach the foreskin. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Phimosis refers to the inability to retract the distal foreskin over the glans penis. Pathologic phimosis defines an inability to retract the foreskin after it was previously retractible or after puberty, usually secondary to distal scarring of the foreskin. Paraphimosis is the entrapment of a retracted foreskin behind the coronal sulcus. Paraphimosis is a disease of uncircumcised or partially circumcised males....Up to 95% of cases of phimosis have been shown to respond to application of topical steroids to the preputial orifice, although some studies have suggested that this response rate may decline several months after the regimen is completed. An initial attempt at medical intervention has been shown to reduce costs by 27.3% in comparison with primary circumcision as a treatment...consult nearest urologist they will help you further

View allI'm worried about my sex stamina because it seems really low, and I feel like I'm not satisfying my wife. Also, my penis size is small, and I'm concerned that's part of the problem. What can I do to improve our sex life?
It's important to remember that sexual satisfaction involves emotional connection, communication, and mutual understanding, not just physical factors. If you're concerned about stamina or size, consulting a healthcare provider can help address any underlying issues and explore options like lifestyle changes, counseling, or treatments that may improve your confidence and performance.

I've had a circumcision about 20 days ago, and I'm starting to get worried about the incision scar. Is there any cream that can help with scar removal, or are there any other options you would recommend to get rid of the scars?
-I'd advise you to be patient with the healing process, as scars can take several months to improve. Keeping the area moisturized and protected from sun exposure is key to minimizing scarring.

How can I permanently retract my foreskin without surgery because I find it unhygienic and prefer it to stay open? Are there safe non-surgical methods to keep the foreskin pulled back?
Foreskin retraction permanently can be aided by stretching exercises and steroid application daily;circumcision only needed if it fails after diligent therapy.
