I'm a 24-year-old and I've been using Viagra to have better sex. I'm worried because it's become a habit, and over the past year, my penis isn't getting as erect as it used to. It would get hard about 2 to 3 times a day before, but now it doesn't. Even during sex, it gets hard but goes soft really quickly. I'm wondering if this is happening because of the Viagra, and Id really like some advice on what I should do.

Taking Viagra regularly without medical advice can sometimes lead to psychological dependence, where natural erections feel less strong or consistent. Stress, anxiety, or underlying health issues can also contribute. To address this, avoid further use of Viagra for now, focus on a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep), and consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment options, such as managing psychological or hormonal factors.

I've had undescended testicles since birth, and now only one is in my scrotum. I've never talked about this with anyone, but it's made me worry about my small penis size and whether I can have children. Should I get treatment or surgery for this, or is it not a problem? Also, how much would the treatment cost?

I'm really curious about how I can make my penis muscles stronger. Do Kegel exercises help with that, or should I focus on other physical exercises too? I want to know which exercises are the most effective for strengthening those muscles.

To strengthen the penis muscles, focus on exercises that target the pelvic floor muscles, such as Kegel exercises, which involve contracting and releasing the muscles that stop urine flow; other beneficial exercises include pelvic tilts, bridges, and squats; additionally, physical exercises like weightlifting, running, and swimming can improve overall cardiovascular health and blood flow, which can also benefit penis health; remember to also practice good lifestyle habits, such as maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and getting enough sleep.
