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.

View allHey, I'm dealing with some issues that I think are linked to porn and masturbation. Whenever I engage in sexual activity, I get overly excited, leading to pre-cum and premature ejaculation. The thing is, when it comes to actual sex, I'm not really feeling that emotional connection or excitement, but I still end up ejaculating. Can these problems be permanently resolved? Also, how long would I need to continue taking medication if that's part of the solution?
Regarding your concerns with premature ejaculation (PE) and pre-ejaculatory fluid, consult a urologist or sexologist for personalized guidance; to answer your questions: 1) PE can be effectively managed and treated with a combination of medications, behavioral techniques, and lifestyle changes, offering a potential for long-term improvement or "cure"; 2) the duration of treatment varies depending on individual response, but typically, medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), dapoxetine, or topical anesthetics may be prescribed for several months to a year or more, alongside behavioral techniques like the "stop-start" method or pelvic floor exercises.

I'm worried because I've been having early discharge and trouble with erections after taking Patanjali Shilajeet capsules a while back. I'm concerned about how this might affect me in the future. Could you guide me on what to do for better treatment?
Its possible that the Patanjali Shilajit capsules may have affected your hormonal balance or caused temporary changes. For better management of early discharge and erectile issues, I recommend consulting with a doctor who can evaluate your specific condition and suggest treatments like lifestyle changes, counseling, or medications that address the root cause effectively.
