I've noticed something strange lately. My foreskin and penis were just fine before, the foreskin used to roll back without any issuesno tightness or pain. After a day of heavy masturbation, the foreskin suddenly became really tight and doesn't roll back as easily as it used to. If I try to force it back, it feels like an elastic band is squeezing my penis. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it?

It seems you're experiencing a condition known as:

Phimosis

or foreskin tightness. This can be caused by:

Over-manipulation: Excessive masturbation or forceful retraction of the foreskin.

Inflammation: Irritation or infection can lead to scarring and tightening of the foreskin.

Symptoms:

Difficulty retracting the foreskin

Pain or discomfort during retraction

Tightness or constriction of the penis

To alleviate symptoms:

Stop forceful retraction: Avoid pulling back the foreskin forcefully.

Apply topical creams: Use topical corticosteroid creams to reduce inflammation.

Practice gentle hygiene: Clean the area gently with mild soap and water.

I'm dealing with erectile dysfunction and was wondering if it's okay to take Tadact 10 mg every day. How should I be taking it, or is there another medication you recommend? I don't have any other health issues.

Tadact 10 mg is a brand name for Tadalafil, which is commonly used for erectile dysfunction. You can take Tadact 10 mg as needed, approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity. Alternatively, you can also consider taking Viagra (Sildenafil) or Levitra (Vardenafil) as alternative medicines for ED. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm Jonas Markus, and I'm 17 years old. Lately, I've been having this weird health issue that I'm hoping you can help with. Every morning, my pee is orange and it burns. But after the morning, it goes back to being yellow and doesn't burn at all. Plus, I'm feeling some discomfort in my lower abdomen, just above my genitals. When I press on my lower abdomen, it seems like theres a vibration, kind of like gases moving around. Is this normal, or could it be an infection?

That could be due to dehydration or it could be UTI also,take Cital UTI syrup 10ml three times in a day for 5 days and consume more water,if its still bothering you visit physician for evaluation and appropriate management.
