I'm a bit concerned because my sex life used to be good, but recently I've noticed my penis isn't getting erect like it used to. I'm not sure what's going on and it's worrying me. Could there be an underlying issue causing this?

Erectile dysfunction can have various causes, including stress, anxiety, underlying health conditions, or medication side effects. It is important to consult with a doctor to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can consider using medications like Viagra (sildenafil) at a starting dose of 50mg as needed, taken about 1 hour before sexual activity. However, please consult with a doctor before starting any medication for erectile dysfunction.

View allI'm dealing with a phimosis issue that I've had since birth. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Should I consider steroids or is surgery the better option? I'm based in Bangalore, so any local recommendations would be great too. What would you suggest?
Elevated SGOT (120) and SGPT (222) levels indicate liver stress, likely exacerbated by alcohol consumption. To reduce liver enzyme levels: Abstain from alcohol completely. Consider medications like: Silymarin (Livercare) to support liver health. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to reduce liver inflammation. Consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for personalized guidance and monitoring.

I've been wondering about my penis size. It's about 13.5 cm and I'm not sure if that's considered normal or on the smaller side. Is there anything I can do to make it bigger? I'm really curious to know if enlargement is possible.
A penis size of 13.5 cm (about 5.3 inches) is within the average range for adult men. There are no medically proven methods to significantly enlarge the penis. If you have concerns, it's best to discuss them with a healthcare professional to understand what's normal and to address any underlying issues.

My foreskin is really tight and won't pull back, causing pain and even cracks near the tip. My family doctor suggested circumcision, but I'm not sure which hospital or doctor in Chennai is the best for this. Also, I have medical insurance will they accept it for this procedure?
Tight foreskin with pain usually needs circumcision; check with urology hospitals in Chennai that accept your insurance.
