Is erectile dysfunction also a sign of lacking sex life?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Erectile dysfunction per se can lead to lack of sex life if not addressed properly by health care experts but it is not a sign.

View allI have retractile testicles where they mostly stay in the scrotum, but my right one moves up into the groin during ejaculation and stays there for a bit. If I decide to get surgery to keep it fixed in place, what's the success rate like? I'm 29, does age affect the outcome?
normal nothing to worry ok.

I'm really worried about something that happened yesterday. After I masturbated and ejaculated, my penis went numb and shrank. The foreskin got really loose, and it feels super short and cold now. I can't quite feel it right, and I'm also feeling really dizzy and depressed. I'm attaching a picture of my penis for you to check. Is there something wrong, and can it be fixed? Please let me know what's happening and what I should do.
Dont worry. It looks normal. Vigorous masturbation can cause pain and numbness just like if you rub your skin very roughly. It will get better on its own

I'm experiencing something odd when I go to the bathroom. Occasionally, I find myself short of breath while I'm urinating. It's not a constant issueit last happened about five months ago, and it's only occurred a few times in total. I don't have any medical history that might explain this. Could you give me some idea of what might be causing this and what remedies I might try? Also, if you think I should see a specialist, what kind of doctor would be best to consult?
Shortness of breath during urination can occasionally happen due to a vagal nerve response, anxiety, or even bladder issues. If it's infrequent and no other symptoms exist, it's usually harmless. However, consult a urologist or general physician to rule out underlying causes like prostate or cardiovascular concerns.
