I'm dealing with a problem where the foreskin on my penis is really tight, and I can't pull it back at all. I can't see the inside of my penis, and it seems like others my age can do this easily. I've heard that having a tight foreskin can cause pain and maybe even bleeding during sex. I'm not sure what I should do about it, could you help me out with some advice?

To address this issue, you can try using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% cream. Apply a small amount of the cream to the tight part of the foreskin twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. This can help to reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. In severe cases where conservative measures do not work, a circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare professional. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I'm 21 and have been diagnosed with hydrocele. Is there any chance it can go away on its own or would I need surgery? Also, how much does the surgery usually cost?

Hydroceles in adults rarely resolve on their own; surgery is the definitive treatment and costs vary depending on hospital type and location.

I had sex last night and now my glans are exposed, and the skin isn't retracting. Is that normal? It feels uncomfortable rubbing against my clothes since it's such a sensitive area. What should I do?
