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.

I have stage 1 phimosis where I can pull back my foreskin when flaccid but not when erect. Intercourse isn't an issue, but I'm unsure if I need treatment. Some suggest surgery while others recommend coconut oil and exercises. What's the best approach for this should I treat it or leave it alone?

I've been feeling this light but uncomfortable pain in my testicles and lower abdomen for the past 56 days. I'm not sure what's causing it, and it's starting to worry me. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

The persistent light pain in your testicles and lower abdomen could be due to various reasons such as epididymitis, orchitis, or a urinary tract infection; consider consulting a urologist or a primary care physician for a proper evaluation, and in the meantime, apply warm compresses to the area, avoid strenuous activities, and monitor for worsening symptoms or accompanying signs like fever, swelling, or discharge.
