I'm really worried about my performance in bed. I feel like it's not great, and I want to have more sexual energy. After two or three times, I just ejaculate too quickly. Also, I'm concerned because my penis is small. I'm 26 years old and Im wondering if I should start taking shilajit resin. How often would be safe to take it each day or week?

It's important to address any concerns with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. Shilajit resin is sometimes used to support energy and vitality, but it's best to consult your doctor for guidance on its usage and to discuss any underlying factors affecting your performance. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can also contribute to overall sexual health.

I'm having some trouble with my erection and I'm worried. When I take Megalis, it seems to help a bit, but I'm noticing the glans of my penis isn't getting as hard as the rest. I'm really looking for a permanent fix for this. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with erectile function beyond just the physical erection of the penis. While Megalis can help with erectile strength, persistent issues with the glans may indicate a need for further evaluation. I recommend consulting a urologist to rule out any underlying conditions and explore more targeted treatment options.

I'm concerned about whether masturbation can lead to urethral stricture or any other issues. I've been masturbating and I'm wondering if there are any negative effects I should be aware of. Can you shed some light on this?

Masturbation does not typically cause urethral stricture. However, excessive or vigorous masturbation can lead to irritation of the genital area. It is important to practice good hygiene and use lubrication to prevent any potential irritation. If you experience any pain or discomfort during or after masturbation, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider. There are generally no serious long-term effects of masturbation. In fact, it can have some health benefits, such as stress relief and improved sleep. It is a normal and healthy sexual activity.
