I'm having some discomfort during intercourse because my frenulum feels really tight and it hurts when my foreskin stretches. Is there any way to loosen the frenulum? Would love some advice on this.

You may be experiencing frenulum breve, which is a condition where the frenulum (the band of tissue connecting the foreskin to the underside of the penis) is tight and causes pain during erection. One option to help loosen the frenulum is by using a topical steroid cream, such as Betamethasone cream. You can apply a small amount of Betamethasone cream to the tight frenulum twice a day for several weeks to help loosen it. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any treatment.

I'm 58 and have been married for over 30 years but dealing with a tight foreskin that won't retract, causing pain when forced. Sex is still possible with the foreskin, though it's affecting my sexual life. We have two healthy kids, but now I'm wondering if circumcision is needed at my age, especially since I've had type 2 diabetes and been on insulin for 20 years. What's your advice?

Maintaining good hygiene of the penis is very important if you are suffering from phimosis. Good hygiene practices help wash off the dirt and sweat and help in preventing the growth of microbes. The glans and the foreskin should be washed and dried gently. Cotton wipes and swabs can also be used for the purpose. This will prevent further worsening of the condition.However, if you are facing a lot of problems in your sexual life because of phimosis, consult a specialist
