I'm looking for some advice on what medication I can take to help with issues related to the erectness and hardness of my penis during intercourse. I'm really concerned about finding a solution that doesn't come with unwanted side effects. Can you suggest something that would work without causing other problems?

I'm having trouble with my foreskin not being able to open or stretch properly. Are there any creams or gels available in India that can help with this? I really want to avoid having surgery. Any advice would be appreciated.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is tight. There are non-surgical options, such as steroid creams (like betamethasone), which can help stretch the foreskin. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before using any treatment to ensure it's suitable for you.

I've been having some concerns and I'm hoping you can help. A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and since then, I've noticed a 0.5 inch lump on my right testicle, which is also a bit larger than my left one. There's nothing like that on my left testicle. Could this be epididymitis, or is it something else I should be worried about?

My 5th grader has phimosis where the skin almost fully covers the head and won't pull back but he can still pee normally. Is surgery or laser treatment the only option or are there other ways to manage this without going that route?

circumcision is advised.
