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 94 and have been dealing with prostate issues. I've been on Urimax 0.4 mg at night for about a year. Since starting it, I've noticed that I end up needing to pee more often during the night, which means I can't really get a good night's sleep. Do you think it would be okay if I switched to taking Urimax during the day instead? I'm really hoping for a way to sleep better.

You can consult your doctor about taking Urimax (Tamsulosin) 0.4mg in the morning instead of nighttime to minimize nocturia (frequent urination at night) and improve sleep quality; however, it's essential to discuss this change with your doctor, as they may need to monitor your prostate symptoms and adjust your treatment plan accordingly to ensure optimal management of your benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

I'm a bit worried about the curvature of my penis. I've read that castor oil massages might help with this issue. Can this really improve the symptoms or even reduce the unwanted bend? Are there other oils or any methods you'd recommend to fix this kind of problem?

Castor oil massage may potentially help alleviate symptoms of a bent penis, but it's essential to understand the underlying cause of the curvature. *Causes of Penile Curvature:* 1. Peyronie's disease (fibrotic tissue formation) 2. Injury or trauma 3. Congenital conditions
