I'm experiencing a lot of pain during sex and I'm not sure if it's because of a short frenulum or something else. I also have a hard time opening it properly when it becomes erect. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing pain due to a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis. This can be caused by a short frenulum. I recommend using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone (0.05%) to help loosen the foreskin. Apply a small amount to the tight area twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. If this does not improve your symptoms, you may need to consider a circumcision or a frenuloplasty procedure. Please consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been having some trouble with my sex life since getting married, and it's becoming a real issue. I'm not really sure which type of doctor I should reach out to for this. Could you help point me in the right direction?
As a newly married couple experiencing sexual difficulties, consider consulting an Andrologist (male specialist) or a Sexologist, who can address issues like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or performance anxiety; for females, a Gynecologist or a Sex Therapist can help with concerns like vaginal pain, low libido, or orgasmic difficulties.

I'm really concerned because the skin on my penis doesn't retract at all when I'm erect. I'm not quite sure if I'm dealing with a tight skin issue, but it's been worrying me. What could happen if I decide not to get any treatment for this?

Hey, I've been hitting the gym and my trainer suggested I start using whey protein. But I'm kinda worried if it could mess with my libido or even cause erectile dysfunction. Is it really safe to go ahead with whey protein?
Whey protein is generally safe for most people and does not directly cause loss of libido or erectile dysfunction. However, excessive protein intake can sometimes affect hormone levels or kidney function in some individuals. It's best to use it in moderation, and if you have any concerns, consulting with a healthcare provider is always a good idea.
