I'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 noticed that my penis size seems to have shrunk from 6 inches to about 5 inches, and I'm really concerned. I've gained around 7 kgs recently, and I also drink a few times a week. I quit smoking regularly about two months ago but used to smoke a lot before. Could these changes be affecting my size and stamina? What kind of diet or lifestyle changes should I consider to maybe get back to my original size and boost my stamina?

I'm a 19-year-old guy and lately, I've been noticing something strange. When I masturbate, it feels good during the act, but once I ejaculate, there's nothinglike, no orgasm or any feeling at all. Is this something I should be worried about?

Not feeling an orgasm during masturbation, also known as anorgasmia, can be caused by various factors, including: Physical Factors 1. Over-masturbation: Frequent masturbation can lead to desensitization. 2. Nerve damage: Injury or damage to the nerves in the genital area. 3. Hormonal imbalance: Imbalances in testosterone, dopamine, or serotonin levels. 4. Medications: Certain medications, such as antidepressants, can affect orgasm. Psychological Factors 1. Stress and anxiety: High stress levels can affect orgasm. 2. Depression: Depression can lead to a decrease in libido and orgasmic function. 3. Performance anxiety: Anxiety about sexual performance can affect orgasm. Lifestyle Factors 1. Lack of sleep: Fatigue can affect orgasmic function. 2. Poor diet: A diet lacking essential nutrients can affect hormone levels and orgasm. 3. Substance abuse: Substance abuse can affect hormone levels and orgasmic function.
