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 recently tried to have sex with my girlfriend, but after 20 minutes, I couldn't seem to get my penis into her vagina. We both gave it our best shot, but it just wouldn't go in. Normally, my penis gets hard, but when it came time to insert, it was small and not hard. What could be going on here?

Had a vasectomy in December but still noticing white semen during ejaculation. Is this normal or should I be concerned about the surgery not working properly?

It's normal to have white semen after a vasectomy. While the vasectomy prevents sperm from being carried in the semen, the body still produces fluids and other substances that make up the ejaculate, which usually appear white or cloudy.

I'm dealing with a stubborn 6 mm kidney stone at the UV junction that's causing mild hydronephrosis in my right kidney. The doctor put me on urimax 0.4 mg for 10 days. It's been 15 days now, and the back pain is still around, sometimes even getting unbearable. We're trying to flush it out by drinking lots of water, but it seems like nothing's changed. What should we do next?

The medication prescribed by your doctor, capsule Urimax 0.4 mg, is commonly used to help pass kidney stones by relaxing the muscles in the urinary tract. However, since the pain is still persistent and sometimes unbearable, it may be necessary to consider a different approach. In this case, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a medication like Tamsulosin (Flomax) to help with the passage of the kidney stone. Additionally, if the pain continues to be severe, your doctor may consider other interventions such as lithotripsy or surgery to remove the stone. It's important to keep hydrating well and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
