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 phimosis but it's not like the typical cases I've read about there's no pain, swelling, or trouble peeing, and everything else seems normal. The only issue is I've never been able to retract my foreskin since birth. Are there any non-surgical ways to manage this? Could it cause problems later or affect sex?

I've had this small pea-sized lump under my bottom left testicle since I was 15, and now I'm 25. It hasn't really grown, but recently, I've been getting this dull pain in that area. It's not constant but noticeable, especially last night when this sharp dull pain woke me up. I've experienced a bit of that dull pain today too. Could this be something serious, or should I be concerned?

Congratulations on taking the Covishield vaccine! Dolo 650 (paracetamol) is generally considered safe while breastfeeding. However, consult your doctor or pediatrician before taking any medication. The vaccine's side effects, such as fever or pain, can be managed with paracetamol. Monitor your baby for any adverse reactions, such as drowsiness or fussiness. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
