I've been having some trouble with my foreskin since I can't pull it back when my penis is erect, and it really hurts when I try. I'm wondering, could this be phimosis or maybe paraphimosis? Also, I'm curious if there's a way to treat this without surgery, or is surgery the way to go? If I do need surgery, is it safe to have it done at my age, and should I be worried about any side effects?

You may be experiencing phimosis, which is the inability to fully retract the foreskin over the head of the penis. This can cause pain and discomfort, especially during erections. Phimosis is different from paraphimosis, which is a medical emergency where the retracted foreskin cannot be returned to its original position. For phimosis treatment, you can try using topical steroid creams such as Betamethasone or Hydrocortisone. These creams can help to soften the foreskin and make it easier to retract. You can apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to the tight area twice a day for a few weeks. If conservative treatments do not work, then circumcision surgery may be recommended.

I'm really worried because while having sex with my wife, as soon as I went in, my penis started bleeding from the area where the foreskin is attached to the pee hole. Can you tell me what might be happening and what I should do?
I'm sorry to hear about this. Bleeding from the area where the foreskin is attached could be due to friction or irritation. It's important to keep the area clean and avoid further irritation. If the bleeding continues or you experience pain, it's advisable to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough examination and proper guidance.

I'm really concerned because I found out my sperm mortality rate is zero, even though my sperm count seems to be okay. On top of that, my testosterone levels are pretty low. Could you suggest any medicines, supplements, or natural ways to boost the sperm mortality?
To increase sperm motility naturally and with supplements, you can consider taking supplements like Coenzyme Q10, L-carnitine, and vitamin E. These supplements have been shown to improve sperm motility. Additionally, incorporating foods rich in antioxidants such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds can also help improve sperm motility. In terms of medications, you can consider using brands like Clomid or hCG injections, which can help boost testosterone levels and improve sperm motility. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement or medication regimen.
