Question 1

Im 24 years old, and Ive noticed that my penis size has decreased from around 6 inches to 5 inches. Ive been wondering if excessive masturbation could cause this or if its related to the 7 kg Ive gained recently. I also drink a few times a week and used to smoke regularly until I cut down two months ago. What diet or lifestyle changes should I follow to get back to my original size and improve my stamina?

Question 2

Ive noticed that my penis is smaller than I think it should be, and the skin doesnt retract properly. There are also red patches showing up on the tip, and its been worrying me. Could this be an infection or something else?

Diagnosis1. Phimosis: A condition where the foreskin is tight and cannot be retracted over the glans penis.2. Balanitis: An inflammation of the glans penis, which can cause red patches, itching, and discharge.3. Genital warts or other STIs: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).Treatment Advice1. Consult a urologist or dermatologist: Schedule an appointment with a specialist to confirm the diagnosis and receive personalized treatment.2. Topical creams or ointments: For balanitis, your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, or miconazole.3. Antibiotics or antivirals: If an STI is suspected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics or antivirals to treat the underlying infection.4. Circumcision or preputioplasty: If phimosis is diagnosed, your doctor may recommend circumcision or preputioplasty to loosen the foreskin.5. Good genital hygiene: Practice good genital hygiene by keeping the area clean, avoiding harsh soaps, and wearing loose-fitting clothing.Additional Tips1. Avoid self-medication: Refrain from using over-the-counter creams or ointments without consulting a doctor.2. Practice safe sex: Use condoms to prevent the transmission of STIs.3. Follow-up appointments: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor treatment progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

Could be due to irritation or inflammation. I recommend using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the swelling and discomfort. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to the affected area twice a day for about a week. If the swelling does not improve or if you experience any pain, fever, or discharge, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Im experiencing sharp pain at the tip of my penis along with irritation around the foreskin. Do you recommend any general painkillers to use until I can see the doctor on Monday?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in the foreskin, which can cause discomfort. For temporary relief, you can take over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen, but make sure to follow the recommended dosage. Its best to keep the area clean and avoid any irritants until you can see the doctor on Monday.
