I've noticed that the skin on the upper part of my penis doesn't open up properly, and the last time I had sex, it started bleeding and was really painful. I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice?

It sounds like you may have experienced a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully. It's important to avoid any further trauma to the area. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider, preferably a urologist, for a proper examination and treatment options, which may include topical treatments or, in some cases, a minor surgical procedure.

I've been having some issues with my foreskin and wanted to know what treatment options are available. Can you suggest a good doctor who specializes in this? Also, could you give me an idea of how much circumcision surgery usually costs?

I'm a bit worried about my foreskin. It only pulls back halfway when my penis is erect, and there's also a tilt towards the left. Do you think circumcision might be necessary? Could you give me some advice on this?

I'm a bit concerned after a recent ultrasound showed multiple echogenic foci in my right kidney and a small single echogenic foci in my left kidney, ranging from about 3mm to 6mm in size. Does this mean I might have kidney stones, or could it be something else?
