I'm dealing with a tight foreskin problem. It's really not soft, and when my penis is erect, it feels hard, and I can't fully pull it back. I'm a bit worried about this. Can you suggest any treatments or options for this issue?

You're experiencing symptoms of phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be retracted; treatment options include topical steroid creams like betamethasone to loosen the skin, manual stretching exercises, or in severe cases, circumcision or preputioplasty surgery, so consult a urologist

View allMy dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer with a biopsy score of 4410 but his bone scan came back negative. Can this be treated with just medications or does he need surgery?
A Gleason score of 4+4=8 is considered high-grade prostate cancer, indicating a higher risk of aggressive growth and potential spread. A negative bone scan suggests the cancer hasn't yet spread to the bones. While medication (hormone therapy) can be effective for advanced prostate cancer, surgery (radical prostatectomy) is a primary treatment option for localized prostate cancer. The best approach for your dad will depend on his specific situation, including the extent of the cancer within the prostate and his overall health.

Is there any negative impact of masturbation on sexual health? Also, would it be okay if I masturbate around 5-6 times a week? I'm getting married soon, and I'm a bit worried about the size of my penis. Could you let me know what the average size is?
The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches.Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively or interferes with daily life and activities

I have phimosis and a tight frenulum - if I get circumcision surgery will it fix both issues at the same time or would I need separate procedures
Circumcision generally addresses both phimosis and tight frenulum—confirm with a urologist before surgery.
