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'm dealing with phimosis and really want to avoid getting circumcised. I'm strictly against any surgical solutions. I'm wondering if there are any natural remedies that could help me out? Or maybe some kind of steroid ointment or exercises that might work?

You can consider non-surgical treatment options for phimosis, such as topical steroid creams like betamethasone valerate (0.05-0.1%) applied 2-3 times a day for 4-6 weeks, gentle manual stretching exercises, or natural remedies like coconut oil, tea tree oil, or aloe vera gel,

I've discovered a lump or boil on my testicles, and it's really hard and painful. Should I be considering antibiotics for this, or is there something else I need to do? I'm pretty concerned about it.

I'm really concerned because about an hour ago, I masturbated in the washroom and afterwards noticed the head of my penis turned a yellowish color. I'm worried about what this color change could mean. Is this something serious? What steps should I take to address this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

A temporary yellowish discoloration of the penis head after masturbation is likely due to irritation, friction, or minor trauma, and may be accompanied by swelling or redness; apply a cold compress, maintain good hygiene, and avoid further irritation; if the discoloration persists, is severe, or accompanied by discharge, pain, or difficulty urinating, consult a urologist
