Question 1

Ive been experiencing pain at the head of my penis when I touch it, and sometimes it burns while I pee. What could be causing this? Can I still have sex while dealing with this condition?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms could indicate a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. It is important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. For the pain and burning sensation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, it is important to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and prescription of antibiotics if needed. Regarding having sex with these symptoms, it is advisable to avoid sexual activity until you have been evaluated and treated to prevent spreading any potential infection to your partner.

Accepted Answer

I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, if the phimosis is severe and cannot be resolved with other treatments, circumcision is often the recommended option. Yes, stitches are typically used in adult circumcision, and most people need about 1-2 weeks of recovery time, with complete healing taking around 4-6 weeks. Its important to follow your doctor's aftercare advice for the best outcome.

Question 3

A few days ago, during intercourse, I noticed that my foreskin cut on the lower inner part of my penis. There was a lot of bleeding but it stopped, though the cut is still open and healing. Im also diabetic. Should I be concerned or consult a doctor?

It's important to get the cut checked by a doctor, especially with diabetes, as healing can be slower, and there's a risk of infection. If it's not healing properly or if you experience pain, swelling, or redness, please consult a healthcare professional for proper care.

Question 4

How can I tell if I have Frenulum breve? Is it enough if I can't fully retract my foreskin when my penis is erect? I can do it when it's semi-erect or flaccid, though. Is that a sign of the condition?

Accepted Answer

-Frenulum breve is when the frenulum (the band under the penis head) is too short, limiting foreskin retraction, especially during an erection. If you can retract it only on a flaccid or semi-erect penis, it could be a sign, but it's best to consult a doc
