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 really worried about something that's been happening the last few weeks. Whenever I get an erection, everything seems fine at first, but when the foreskin pulls back, it gets painful cracks, and I've even noticed some bleeding. The area feels really dry and uncomfortable. We've tried not having sex for a bit, hoping it would heal, which it does, but then the cracks come back again when I pull the skin back during sex. I used some lubricant and coconut oil, which help a little bit, but the problem is still there. I've been married for a year now and never had this issue before. Any advice on what might be causing this and how I can fix it?

I have a small egg-like lump near my right testicle inside the scrotum that feels slippery and moves around. It gives me a slight electric shock-like pain that's really bothering me. An ultrasound showed it's a small epididymal cyst. What can be done to drain it or ease the pain? Can meds help or is surgery the only option?
Usually epididymal cysts will not cause any problem and treating them might cause problem including surgery. If there is infection you need to be treated. These cysts will not harm you unless increase in size. Get a check up with urologist.
