I'm having a bit of an issue and really hope you can help me out. I've gotten into the habit of masturbating once a day, but when it comes to being with my girlfriend, I'm struggling to get a second erection quickly. It seems to take about 2 hours for me to be ready for round two. Is this something that might need medication, or are there exercises or other solutions I could try to improve this? Would love some advice on what to do.

The delayed second erection may be due to frequent masturbation, causing temporary desensitization, and to improve your sexual performance, consider exercises like Kegel, pelvic floor strengthening, and techniques like edging, as well as reducing masturbation frequency,

Is there any way to treat a urethral stricture without surgery or using a catheter? I've heard about urethral dilation with a catheter in Uttar Basti, but I'd prefer to avoid that. Are there any effective medicines or non-invasive treatments that can help?

While urethral dilation with a catheter in Uttar Basti (likely referring to a specific technique) and surgery are the primary treatments for urethral strictures, there are some other non-invasive options and medications that can help manage the condition and its symptoms
