Can anyone recommend the most effective treatment for erectile dysfunction? I'm really looking to overcome this issue. Are there any proven methods that work well?
It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.

I'm a 19-year-old guy, and I've noticed that my penis leaks a clear fluid whenever I talk to a girl, whether it's at school or at home. I'm really curious if this is something I should be worried about in the future and how I can stop it from happening.
Its common for some young men to experience clear fluid leakage, often due to arousal or heightened emotions, which is typically a natural response. This fluid is called **pre-ejaculate**, and it doesn't generally cause long-term issues. If it concerns you, focusing on relaxation and managing stress may help, but if it becomes frequent or bothersome, consulting a healthcare professional can provide further reassurance.
