I'm dealing with a curved penis that leans to the left, and it's not just a slight bend. It's more like the curvature of a banana. I'm wondering if there's any medication that can help with this issue. Can you provide some advice?

I've been having to pee every 15 minutes and it feels like my bladder isn't emptying completely. My diabetes and UTI tests came back normal could this still be a urinary tract issue or something more serious that might need surgery?
Yes, frequent urination with a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, even with normal diabetes and UTI test results, can still be a urinary tract issue. It could be a sign of overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, or other problems, some of which might require surgical intervention.
