I'm a 28-year-old male with phimosis, and while it hasn't caused me any major issues so far, I'm a bit worried because it seems unusual to still have this at my age. Is there any way to treat phimosis without surgery? It's kind of embarrassing, and I'm not sure if this is normal for someone my age.

Topical steroid creams and stretching exercises may help phimosis. It's not uncommon in adults and treatable without surgery in many cases.

I'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing early discharge of semen fluid recently, and I've also noticed that my penis size seems to shrink when I provide a sperm sample. Additionally, my results showed that I have reduced active sperm motility at 25 and there are 68 pus cells present under HPF. I'm really concerned about what all this means and what I should do next. Can you help me out with some advice?

It sounds like there may be an underlying infection or inflammation affecting sperm quality. I recommend seeing a urologist for a thorough examination and tests to rule out any infections or other issues. Treatment with antibiotics or other medications may be necessary to improve sperm health and motility.
