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.

It's understandable to be worried when a loved one is diagnosed with cancer. The best approach for your dad's bladder cancer will depend on the specific stage, grade, and type of cancer, as well as his overall health. Both surgery and chemotherapy can be effective treatment options, and the choice will depend on a variety of factors that your doctor will discuss with you.

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
