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'm dealing with a fungal infection on my penis and was told to take Zocon 400, two tablets total, with the second one supposed to be taken on the 7th day. I kind of messed up and ended up taking the second pill on the 9th day instead. Is that going to be a problem?

Yes its ok ,have a follow up with your doctor and maintain Personal Hygiene

Had a circumcision 10 days back but still feeling numbness in my penis with no sensitivity. My urine flow is also weaker than usual. When can I expect normal sensation to return and will this affect my sex life later?

It's understandable to be concerned about the numbness and weaker urine flow after circumcision. Numbness is a common and temporary experience, and it can take time for sensitivity to fully return. Weaker urine flow could be due to swelling or inflammation, and in some cases, a tight bandage might be contributing to urinary retention

I have a hydrocele in my left testicle can it be treated without surgery? If yes, where should I go for help?

Can Hydrocele be Medically Treated? The short answer is, NO.. If the hydrocele is relatively small and does not cause discomfort, it might not require any treatment. There isn't a medication currently available that can treat hydrocele effectively
