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 29 and my foreskin is still attached to the head of my penis. I really don't want surgery are there any other ways to fix this? I'm getting married soon and worried it might cause problems in my sex life. Can you suggest the best doctor in Bangalore who can help with this?
It sounds like you're dealing with phimosis, where the foreskin is attached to the head of the penis. While surgery, like circumcision, is a common solution, there are non-surgical options you can explore. Topical steroid creams and stretching exercises, sometimes combined, can help loosen the foreskin, and there are also home remedies like using coconut oil for lubrication during stretching. If you'd like to explore these options, consult with a urologist or a general surgeon specializing in men's health in Bangalore

I have a mild venous leak and I'm wondering if it can be treated with medication or if surgery is needed what would you recommend for this condition?
For a mild venous leak causing erectile dysfunction, initial treatment often focuses on medication and lifestyle changes, with surgery considered only if these are insufficient. Medications like PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., Viagra, Cialis) can help improve erectile function, and lifestyle modifications like quitting smoking, reducing alcohol, and engaging in regular exercise can also improve overall vascular health
