I'm having some problems that are really concerning me. Firstly, during sex, I notice that my penis seems to lose its hardness and takes quite some time to get firm again. Secondly, I'm worried about the size of my penis because the circumference seems small to me. Also, I'm not sure if it's normal that it bends downward instead of being straight. Could you let me know what might be causing these issues or what I might be able to do?

Treating Frenulum Breve and Penile Curvature: Options and Precautions_
Given your concerns, here's a summary of possible treatments for frenulum breve and penile curvature:
Medical Treatments
- Frenuloplasty: A surgical procedure to lengthen the frenulum, relieving tension and reducing curvature.
- Frenectomy: A surgical procedure to remove the frenulum, which can help alleviate curvature and tightness.
Non-Surgical Treatments
- Manual stretching: Gentle, manual stretching of the frenulum can help lengthen it over time.
- Frenulum stretchers: Devices specifically designed to stretch the frenulum, available online or through medical suppliers.
- Topical creams or gels: Certain creams or gels, such as those containing hyaluronic acid or glycerin, may help reduce friction and promote frenulum stretching.
Home Remedies
- Warm compresses: Applying warm compresses to the frenulum area may help increase blood flow and promote relaxation.
- Massage: Gentle massage of the frenulum area may help reduce tension and promote stretching.
Precautions
- Consult a healthcare professional: Before attempting any treatment, consult a urologist, dermatologist, or primary care physician to discuss the best course of action.
- Avoid over-stretching: Be cautious not to over-stretch the frenulum, as this can cause injury or scarring.
- Monitor progress: Regularly monitor your progress and adjust your treatment approach as needed.

View allI'm dealing with a recurring issue where I feel a burning sensation in my scrotum, but it's not constant. It kicks in after I've been driving for more than 30 minutes or sitting for a long time. I already talked to a dermatologist who suggested I try HH Zole ointments, but after using it for a week, I haven't seen much improvement. Could you please offer some advice?
The intermittent burning sensation in your scrotum, triggered by prolonged driving or sitting, may be due to a fungal infection, friction, or irritation; since the prescribed HH Zole ointment (an antifungal) was ineffective, consider consulting a urologist to rule out other conditions, such as epididymitis, orchitis, or a urinary tract infection, and explore alternative treatments, like antifungal oral medications, steroid creams, or lifestyle modifications, including wearing loose-fitting clothing, avoiding tight underwear, and taking regular breaks to stretch and move during long drives.

I'm really worried because I've been diagnosed with a varicocele grade 3, and my right and left testis seem to be normal. According to the doctor, the veins are dilated and measure 3 mm at rest. My semen analysis shows sperm motility is only 18, while it should be 50 or more. The doctor mentioned that my infertility might be due to this varicocele issue. Could this really be affecting my fertility, and what are my options?
With a Grade 3 Varicocele diagnosis, characterized by dilated veins measuring 3mm at rest, and low sperm motility of 18%, your doctor's assessment that the varicocele is likely contributing to your infertility is reasonable; consider consulting a urologist or andrologist to discuss surgical options, such as varicocelectomy, to repair the varicocele and potentially improve sperm motility and overall fertility.
