View allI'm kind of worried about my foreskin. It's become swollen and there are some cut-like marks on it. It's been like this for about a month now. Its difficult to move the foreskin back and there's a burning sensation when I touch the area. Could you suggest some medicine or what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal and anti-inflammatory cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg to help with the burning sensation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

My penis size is very small and thin only 3.5 inches when erect. I really want to increase it. Does jelqing actually work? Also, does low testosterone affect size? And if there's a hormone imbalance, is it possible to grow my penis without surgery?
There's no scientific evidence that it works, and it might cause side effects like pain, irritation, and bruises. Rarely, jelqing can cause curving of the penis or erectile dysfunction. Talk to a doctor or sex therapist before you try jelqing or any other technique you find online

I'm having a bit of a concernlately, I've noticed that sperm is leaking while I'm asleep, and it happens about once every night. I'm really hoping to find a way to manage this without turning to medication. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I might be able to do about it?
Sperm leakage during sleep is a common issue known as nocturnal emissions or wet dreams. To help reduce the frequency of these occurrences, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing stress levels. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques before bed may help. Avoiding stimulating activities before sleep, such as watching explicit content or consuming caffeine, can also be beneficial. It's important to establish a regular sleep routine and ensure you are getting adequate rest. If the issue persists or causes distress, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider for further guidance.
