I'm a bit worried about my situation. When my penis is flaccid, I can easily pull the foreskin back. Is this normal? Should I be keeping it rolled back all the time, or is there a reason to be concerned?

Its normal for the foreskin to be easily pulled back when the penis is flaccid, as long as it doesnt cause discomfort or pain. It's not necessary to keep the foreskin rolled back all the time unless advised by a healthcare provider, as it may lead to irritation or other issues. Regular hygiene is important to prevent infections.

I had hypospadias surgery when I was younger and now I'm 28. Can I still have a normal sex life or would I need another surgery to fix anything? I'm a bit worried about how this might affect things long-term

After hypospadias surgery, there may be long-term implications for fertility and sexual satisfaction. The surgical implications of hypospadias repair may include the risk of complications such as urethral strictures and fistulas, which can further affect sexual function.
