I'm worried because my penis has suddenly gotten swollen, and I dont exactly know why. I was traveling on a bus last night, and this morning I noticed it was a bit swollen. Now, it seems to have gotten worse. There's been no sexual activity or anything else that could explain it. Could something have bitten me, and what should I do about it? Can you help me out with some advice?

How can I tell if my phimosis is congenital or developed as an adult also does having phimosis mean I'm impotent and can congenital phimosis be treated with betamethasone cream instead of surgery

Phimosis, whether congenital (present at birth) or acquired (developing later in life), does not automatically mean you are impotent. Congenital phimosis can sometimes be treated with topical corticosteroids like betamethasone cream, but surgery may still be necessary.

I'm having a bit of an issue with my foreskin not being able to pull back over the head of my penis because its too tight. From what Ive read, it seems like it might be phimosis. When I was a kid, a small part of my foreskin was cut by a doctor because it got stuck and wouldn't return to its normal position. There's an image attached for reference. Could you help me figure out whats going on and what I should do next?

That looks like Phymosis donot retract your foreskin,visit surgeon for appropriate management

I'm 26 and still a bachelor and a virgin. I've been worried because I've got this habit of masturbation, and I'm curious if it might affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. Could this be a problem for me later on?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy activity that does not cause infertility or affect your ability to have children in the future. If you have concerns about fertility, focus on a healthy lifestyle and consult a doctor for reassurance or further guidance.
