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 doing this thing called bed humping since I was in 6th or 7th grade. Now when I try to have real sex, my penis gets hard at first but then the hardness just goes away. Is this something I should be worried about?

I've noticed something a bit concerning over the past couple of days. There's been this hazy liquid discharge under my foreskin, kind of with some white stuff mixed in. It only seems to happen once or twice a day, not every time I go to the bathroom, but I do catch it when I'm urinating. There's no burning sensation, so that's good, but afterward, there's a mild itch that lingers for a short while. I remember something similar happened around six months ago. Any idea what this might be or what I should do? I'm curious and a bit worried.

Your symptoms, including intermittent penile discharge, white-colored stuff, and mild itchiness, could be indicative of a fungal or bacterial infection, such as balanitis or urethritis, or possibly a sexually transmitted infection (STI), and it's essential to consult a urologist or a dermatologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan, especially since you've experienced similar symptoms in the past.

I'm dealing with a UTI and my doctor prescribed me Niftas 100 mg twice a day. But I've been getting these intense headaches after taking it. Any idea why this might be happening?

Headache can be a side effect of Niftas (Nitrofurantoin), which is commonly used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). If you are experiencing severe headaches as a side effect of Niftas, you should inform your doctor. They may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication such as Cipro (Ciprofloxacin) or Bactrim (TrimethoprimSulfamethoxazole) to treat your UTI without causing severe headaches.
