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 19 and have bilateral varicocele measuring 2.2 mm and 2.6 mm but I think it's getting bigger. I get occasional scrotal pain, no erections, and see a bunch of veins there. I don't want surgery because it might come back. Can homeopathy really help cure varicocele? What other options do I have?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.

How many times should you pee a day?

Most people urinate between six and eight times a day. But if you're drinking plenty, it's not abnormal to go as many as 10 times a day. You may also pee more often if you're taking certain medications, like diuretics for high blood pressure.

I've noticed that after I eat really spicy foods and then go to the bathroom, it feels like it burns and there's some pain when I pee. Is this something I should be worried about?

Could be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). I recommend taking an over-the-counter medication called AZO Urinary Pain Relief to help alleviate the burning sensation and pain. You can also drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
