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've been dealing with some weird side effects from years of masturbating, like joint pain, weaker bones, hair fall, especially around my shoulders which feel weak, and fatigue, and even some pain in my lower back and abs. I stopped for a month, but this morning I had an episode in my sleep, and now I'm back to feeling weak with bone pain and fatigue. What should I do? Any advice would be really helpful right now.

It sounds like your body is reacting to the strain of frequent masturbation. It's important to listen to your body and give it time to recover. Focus on staying hydrated, eating nutrient-rich foods, and getting rest. If symptoms persist, consider speaking to a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I'm dealing with a lot of discomfort because the skin at the tip of my penis doesnt retract during sex, and it ends up causing pain. Even though I dont have issues while masturbating, the foreskin just wont move back, not even a little, and its really affecting my ability to have sex. What could be going on, and what should I do about it?

It sounds like you may have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract. This can cause discomfort during sex. I recommend consulting a urologist to explore treatment options, which may include topical steroids or, in some cases, a minor surgical procedure to improve the condition.
