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'm dealing with some issues with my foreskin and I'm not really sure who the right doctor is to talk to about it. Should I be looking to see a dermatologist, a urologist, or maybe even a sexologist? I'm feeling a bit uncertain and could really use some advice on who might be the best specialist to consult for this kind of problem.
For foreskin problems, it's best to consult a urologist. They specialize in issues related to the urinary tract and male reproductive system, including foreskin concerns. If there are skin-related issues, a dermatologist may also be helpful. A sexologist is more suited for concerns related to sexual health and performance.

I've been experiencing something a bit odd and I'm not sure if I should be worried. When I start off, everything seems fine and I get an erection, but after about 23 minutes, I go soft. However, if I take a little break and focus on kissing, it gets erect again. Is this a normal pattern, or is there something I should be concerned about?
It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.

I've been having issues with urination and ejaculation the flow speed is really slow. My doctor mentioned it might be a urethral stricture and suggested surgery, but I'm worried about how this could affect my chances of conceiving. Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments that could help improve the flow?
Urethral stricture can sometimes be managed with dilation or endoscopy—fertility impact is rare; consult a urologist for personalized options.
