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 this issue where after I ejaculate, I get a burning sensation and it feels kind of weird inside my penis. It doesn't happen every time, but even when it's not burning, there's this strange feeling that lingers for a while after. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can fix it?
When you experience a burning sensation inside your penis after ejaculation, it could be due to inflammation or infection in the urinary tract or prostate. I recommend you to take a course of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin to treat any possible infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any bacteria. If the symptoms persist, it is important to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm experiencing a sharp pain at the tip of my penis and some irritation on the foreskin. Can you recommend any general painkillers I can use until I see the doctor on Monday?
It sounds like you may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in the foreskin, which can cause discomfort. For temporary relief, you can take over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen, but make sure to follow the recommended dosage. Its best to keep the area clean and avoid any irritants until you can see the doctor on Monday.

My foreskin pulls back fine when soft but doesn't go all the way down when I'm erect. A urologist recommended frenuloplasty but I'm wondering if this can get better without surgery. Is there any way to fix this naturally over time?
It's possible your foreskin tightness could improve without surgery, particularly if it's a mild case or if you're young. Gentle daily retraction exercises, along with topical steroid creams, can sometimes help loosen the foreskin and improve its ability to retract, especially when you're erect. However, if these non-surgical methods don't work, frenuloplasty (surgery to release the frenulum) may be recommended
