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.

How do you diagnose erectile dysfunction?

It's mostly based on history of symptoms such as trouble getting an erection, trouble keeping an erection and reduced sexual desire. Tests are done to know the presence of any organic causes.

I'm dealing with paraphimosis and considering circumcision are there any side effects I should know about before going through with the surgery? Just want to make sure it's the right move for me.

With quick, proper treatment, the outlook for paraphimosis is very good. But if you can't put your foreskin back into position by yourself after treatment, you run the risk of getting paraphimosis again. That's why healthcare providers usually suggest circumcision.

I'm having an issue where every time I have sex, I end up ejaculating within a few seconds, which leaves my partner feeling disappointed. I've been masturbating for the last 10 years, and I'm worried that this might be causing the problem. I'm 27 years old now, and someone mentioned it might be Nara daurbalya, nerves weakness. Could this be true, and what can I do about it? I'm really concerned and would like some advice.

Its condition called premature ejaculation.So dont worry its not a disease its common sexual issue so according to me visit urologist he will tell ypu about counselling as well as there are many techniques available according to your condition . If there is need for medications he will advice you the best .
