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 having an issue where sperm seems to leak automatically when I'm urinating or even when I'm sleeping, and it's happening without any erection. This has got me feeling really down, and I'm not sure what to do. My penis also feels quite loose and this is adding to my worry. For context, I used to masturbate regularly since I was 16 but stopped around 3 months ago, and I'm 28 years old now. Can you help me figure this out?

It sounds like you're experiencing concerns related to spontaneous semen leakage and changes in your sexual health. This could be linked to factors like sexual health, hormonal balance, or stress, especially after prolonged masturbation. It's important to consult a healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms and discuss appropriate steps, such as lifestyle changes or treatments, to help you manage this issue effectively.
