A member asked:

I am 20 and cant see the glans of my penis because i cant pull my foreskin back at all (ive tried for a week)..will this be a problem when i have sex?

Follow up needed...: You need to see a Urologist as this may be a problem later. This is called Phimosis.

Hi Doctor I m a male and I had sex with a girl 2 days ago. When pulling out my penis, I noticed the condom slipped back a bit letting some 1-2 inches of my penis uncovered (Foreskin, glans were covered). I wanna ask how likely is to get hiv that way?
