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.

My foreskin doesn't retract properly do I need to get circumcised before getting married? What are my options?

No, you don't need to get circumcised before marriage just because your foreskin doesn't retract properly. This condition, called phimosis, is not a medical emergency or a requirement for marriage. However, if phimosis causes pain, discomfort, or other issues, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor about treatment options. These options can include steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, or, in some cases, circumcision.

I'm a 37-year-old male who developed a urethral stricture after laparoscopic surgery for a urethral stone. Right now, it's just starting and I only have minor issues like slight difficulty passing urine. I really don't want to go through another surgery are there any homeopathic treatments that could help manage this?

homeopathic treatments may provide some relief for certain conditions, there is currently no scientific evidence to support their use for urethral strictures. Urethral strictures are typically managed through surgical interventions like dilation, urethrotomy, or reconstructive surgery (urethroplasty). Given the potential for progression and complications, it's crucial to consult with a urologist to discuss the best course of action for your specific condition.
