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.

Does having agglutination in a semen test mean its harder to get pregnant, and is it something we should be worried about? We've been trying to conceive for about five months now, and I'm a bit concerned about what this might mean for our chances. What should we do next?

The presence of agglutination in a semen analysis may indicate an issue with sperm motility, as it suggests that sperm are clumping together. While this can potentially affect fertility, it is not always a major problem. I recommend consulting a fertility specialist for further evaluation and guidance, as other factors also play a role in conception.
