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.
