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've had a burning sensation when peeing ever since my C-section and catheter removal six years ago, but my cystoscopy showed everything was normal. What could be causing this ongoing issue?
A persistent burning sensation when peeing after a C-section and catheter removal, even after a normal cystoscopy, could be due to several factors, including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, urethral stricture, or chronic inflammation related to the surgery. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the cause and appropriate treatment

I'm dealing with this weird issue where the skin on my penis is really sticky and itchy. Its also a bit painful when I try to pull it back. Theres this sticky, white stuff on the head that looks kind of like dried semen, but I know its not. It's been about three days now and while it doesn't mess with my erections or passing urine, it's pretty uncomfortable. What could be going on and how should I treat it?
You may be experiencing symptoms of balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis. To help relieve the symptoms of itching and pain, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding harsh soaps or irritants can also help. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Lidocaine and Benzocaine for Treatment of PE
Sprays that contain a numbing agent such as benzocaine, lidocaine or prilocaine are sometimes used to treat premature ejaculation. They're applied to the penis 10 to 15 minutes before sex to reduce sensation and help delay ejaculation.
