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.

I've recently gotten my semen analysis results back and everything seems normal except for my PUS cell count, which is at 57 hpf, while the epithelial count is only present in small amounts. Could this high PUS cell count be affecting my fertility? My wife and I are having trouble conceiving, and I'm wondering if this might be the issue. Should I see a doctor for this, or can taking a good antibiotic help resolve it?
Your semen analysis shows a slightly elevated pus cell count (5-7hpf), which may indicate a mild infection or inflammation. This alone might not directly affect fertility, but its worth consulting a doctor to rule out any underlying issues. A targeted antibiotic course, if needed, could help, but additional tests might be required to assess other fertility factors for both you and your wife.

I'm an 18-year-old guy and I've got this really tight foreskin, like phimosis or something. I can't pull it back when Im hard and not even when Im soft. It moves a little but stops when the opening gets to about a centimeter. Trying to move it further hurts a lot, so stretching it seems impossible. I've never had sex, and Im worried about how this might affect things. Is having sex possible with this condition, or am I going to need circumcision? I'm really hoping to avoid that if I can.
-It's still possible to have sex with phimosis, but it may be uncomfortable or painful. You could try gentle stretching exercises or consult a doctor about other treatment options like topical creams or non-surgical methods, which may help avoid circumcis
