I'm having a problem with the skin on my penis not retracting during sex with my partner. It seems like it's not opening properly. I've been using oil whenever we have sex, but I'm not sure if that's okay. Is there something I should be doing differently, or should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing tightness of the foreskin, a condition known as phimosis, which can make it difficult for the skin to retract during sex. Applying a lubricant, such as oil, can help reduce friction, but its important to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and explore treatment options, such as gentle stretching exercises or, in some cases, medical intervention.

View allI'm 32 and married, living in Mumbai. I'm dealing with a situation that's been worrying me: my penis bends to the left when it's erect, and my foreskin doesn't pull back easily; when I try to force it, it hurts. I've talked to my wife about this, so that's a relief, but I really need a solution. Could someone please provide some advice on how to handle this?
Phimosis is a condition in which a person is unable to pull back his foreskin either Partially or Completely.it can be Peyronie's disease, also a condition characterized by a curved penis and painful erections; consult a urologist in Mumbai for a proper diagnosis and discussion of treatment options, which may include oral medications, injections, or surgery to alleviate symptoms and improve sexual function.

How much does prostate surgery cost under CGHS rates and do I need to get permission from a government hospital before going ahead with the procedure
Prostate surgery costs under CGHS (Central Government Health Scheme) vary depending on the type of surgery and hospital. You do need to get a referral from a government hospital before proceeding with the surgery, although the process is simplified for CGHS beneficiaries. Cost: Holmium YAG Prostate surgery: Approximately Rs 65,000 (for NABH hospitals). High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) (Robotic): Around Rs 220,000 for carcinoma prostate. Other Procedures: Costs for other types of prostate surgery (e.g., optical internal urethrotomy, core through, stone lithotripsy, bladder tumor) are also listed within the CGHS rate list

I'm a bit worried because my penis isn't getting as hard as it used to during sex. I got married a couple of months ago, and before that, when I masturbated, everything was fine, and it was hard. But now, it's different, and I'm not sure why this is happening. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
You may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend trying a medication like Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg about 30 minutes before sexual activity. This can help improve blood flow to the penis and make it easier to achieve a firm erection. Remember to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
