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.

View allI'm a bit concerned because a few days ago, I noticed some mild pain in my right testicle and now it's swollen. I've been taking painkillers, which helped a bit, but I've found a lump in my spermatic cord. Is this something I should be worried about? Should I see a urologist for this, or would a general surgeon be better?

I've noticed my urine has been a light pink color for the past few weeks. I've been masturbating a lot over the last month, and I'm starting to worry it might be connected. There's no pain when I pee, but the unusual color is really concerning me. Could this be because of my recent habits, or should I be worried about something else?
-Light pink urine is usually a sign of blood in the urine (hematuria) and is unlikely to be directly caused by masturbation. It could indicate an underlying issue like a urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or other conditions. It's important to consul
