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 been dealing with a pretty serious issue and I'm really worried about it. Whenever I look at my penis, it seems to be a bit crooked, like it's slightly bending to one side. I'm hoping for some advice or help on how I might be able to fix this and get it to be straight.
Possible Causes_ 1. _Kidney stone_: The 7mm stone in your kidney might be causing irritation, leading to frequent urination. 2. _Overhydration_: Drinking excessive water can put pressure on your kidneys, leading to frequent urination. 3. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Eating more food than usual can put pressure on your digestive system, leading to frequent bowel movements and urination. 4. _Other medical conditions_: Certain conditions like diabetes insipidus, overactive bladder, or urinary tract infections (UTIs) might also cause similar symptoms. _Diabetes Symptoms_ While your symptoms don't directly point to diabetes, it's essential to be aware of common diabetes symptoms: * Increased thirst and hunger * Fatigue * Blurred vision * Slow healing of cuts and wounds * Tingling or numbness in hands and feet _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your symptoms with your doctor, especially the kidney stone and frequent urination. 2. _Get a urine test_: A urine test can help identify any underlying infections or conditions. 3. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep track of your symptoms, including when they occur and any potential triggers.

My dad had prostate surgery 3 years ago but still has urinary retention issues and has been dealing with prostate problems for like 20 years. The doctor just put in a urine drainage bag. Is this normal after so many years of prostate issues or should we be worried about something else going on?
Yes, long-standing prostate issues can lead to bladder damage and retention even after surgery. A urologist may assess for bladder dysfunction or urethral narrowing with urodynamic studies.

Had circumcision surgery a month ago on May 5th but still can't wear underwear directly using cotton to cover it. The stitches haven't dissolved yet and there's high sensitivity in the open area, plus some pain when touching the stitches. How much longer until it heals completely and I can get back to normal?
Wear loose clothing for example: pyjamas, tracksuit bottoms for the first few days. It is advisable to try and avoid wearing underwear, do so until you feel comfortable enough to resume wearing them. It is advisable especially if your work is heavy (manual, driving) to stay off work for at least one week.
