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 a 37-year-old male who developed a urethral stricture after laparoscopic surgery for a urethral stone. Right now, it's just starting and I only have minor issues like slight difficulty passing urine. I really don't want to go through another surgery are there any homeopathic treatments that could help manage this?
homeopathic treatments may provide some relief for certain conditions, there is currently no scientific evidence to support their use for urethral strictures. Urethral strictures are typically managed through surgical interventions like dilation, urethrotomy, or reconstructive surgery (urethroplasty). Given the potential for progression and complications, it's crucial to consult with a urologist to discuss the best course of action for your specific condition.
