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

  1. Frenuloplasty: A surgical procedure to lengthen the frenulum, relieving tension and reducing curvature.
  2. Frenectomy: A surgical procedure to remove the frenulum, which can help alleviate curvature and tightness.

Non-Surgical Treatments

  1. Manual stretching: Gentle, manual stretching of the frenulum can help lengthen it over time.
  2. Frenulum stretchers: Devices specifically designed to stretch the frenulum, available online or through medical suppliers.
  3. 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

  1. Warm compresses: Applying warm compresses to the frenulum area may help increase blood flow and promote relaxation.
  2. Massage: Gentle massage of the frenulum area may help reduce tension and promote stretching.

Precautions

  1. Consult a healthcare professional: Before attempting any treatment, consult a urologist, dermatologist, or primary care physician to discuss the best course of action.
  2. Avoid over-stretching: Be cautious not to over-stretch the frenulum, as this can cause injury or scarring.
  3. Monitor progress: Regularly monitor your progress and adjust your treatment approach as needed.

I've been diagnosed with a 9.5mm stone in the upper left ureter and swelling in my left kidney. The pain is severe and daily. My doctor recommended Siddh Pan D, painkillers, and immediate surgery. Is surgery the only option or can I wait? How much time do I have before it gets worse? Are there other treatments I can try?

9.5 mm stone is difficult to pass on itself or with medications. For pain u can take tab drotin twice a day..there r two options for stone removal..either ureteroscopic stone removal or shockwave Lithotripsy..for that CT urography needs to be done to decide treatment modality.. serum creatinine also needs to be done

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've been able to get good erections when I'm having sex or masturbating, but I never have morning erections. I'm wondering why that might be. Recently, I've also noticed that when I'm standing up and masturbating, I can't quite get a full erection. I feel like this could be psychological because I've always masturbated while sitting down. But reading stuff online just seems to make me more stressed about it. Is there really something like position-dependent erections? And is watching porn and masturbating harmful in any way?

It is not uncommon for some men to experience variations in their erections based on different positions or situations. The absence of morning erections can sometimes be due to hormonal factors or changes in sleep patterns. As for your difficulty achieving full erection in a standing position during masturbation, it is possible that your body is simply adjusting to a new position. Position-dependent erections can occur due to changes in blood flow and muscle tension. Regarding the impact of porn and masturbation, excessive consumption of pornographic material and frequent masturbation can potentially lead to desensitization and performance anxiety. It is important to maintain a healthy balance and not rely solely on these activities for sexual satisfaction. If you continue to experience concerns about your erections, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
