View allmy penis hasn't grown since childhood and stays around 3 inches when erect is this normal or could there be an underlying issue are there any surgical options to address this
A penis length of around 3 inches when erect may suggest a condition called micropenis, which can have hormonal or developmental causes. It's important to consult an endocrinologist or urologist for proper evaluation. Surgical options like penile lengthening procedures exist but are considered only after medical assessment and counseling.

I'm 33 and married, but I'm having trouble maintaining an erection during sex. My sperm count seems fine, according to the reports. I'm wondering if taking tadalafil could help me when I'm trying to get my wife pregnant. Is this something that could work?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I'm recently married and we're thinking about having a baby. But I'm a bit worried because my penis is only around 2 to 2.5 inches when not erect and grows to about 4 inches during intercourse. The foreskin feels really tight, which makes things uncomfortable, and I notice my erection doesnt last long. I tried using coconut oil, and while it helped a bit with penetration, Im still left feeling not fully satisfied. Also, the fluid seems to come out too quickly after ejaculation. Is all this normal? Are there lotions for tight foreskin or is it okay to use oil on the penis? I'm looking for some advice on these concerns.
