I'm having trouble pulling back the foreskin on my penis, and it's causing a really uncomfortable tightness at the tip during full erections and when trying to insert. On top of that, I'm dealing with premature ejaculation. Should I be seeing a urologist for this, or is a general surgeon the better option? Also, is there a connection between this issue with my foreskin, phimosis I think it's called, and premature ejaculation?

You should consult a urologist, as they specialize in genital and urinary tract issues, including phimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin) and premature ejaculation (PE); while phimosis and PE can coexist, they are not directly related, but treating phimosis through circumcision, preputioplasty, or frenuloplasty may help alleviate discomfort and tightness, which could indirectly improve PE symptoms, and a urologist can assess and address both concerns.

my foreskin is really tight and causing a lot of pain, what should I do? do I need to see a specialist for this or are there any precautions I can take first? is surgery the only option or are there other treatments?

For tight foreskin and pain, consult a urologist for an evaluation. You may not need surgery right away; steroid creams or gentle stretching exercises can sometimes resolve the issue. If surgery is needed, a circumcision could be done.
