I'm having some problems that are really concerning me. Firstly, during sex, I notice that my penis seems to lose its hardness and takes quite some time to get firm again. Secondly, I'm worried about the size of my penis because the circumference seems small to me. Also, I'm not sure if it's normal that it bends downward instead of being straight. Could you let me know what might be causing these issues or what I might be able to do?

View allI'm having trouble with the foreskin of my penis not retracting to expose the head, and I'm really concerned about keeping things hygienic. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?
It sounds like you might be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract. Gently stretching the foreskin over time may help, but if the problem persists, a doctor can recommend treatments such as topical steroids or, in some cases, a minor procedure. For hygiene, clean the area gently with warm water to avoid infections. Please consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been using soap and powder to manage it, but the itching at the tip won't go away. Also, I have a tight foreskin (phimosis) and noticed a red, curved line from my shaft to the head when I pulled it back.
