I'm married and have been trying for a month to have intercourse with my wife, but I'm having issues because I can't maintain an erection. It's affecting our intimacy, and I'm worried because I can't satisfy her fully. It's bending and not working as it should. What could be the cause of this? What can I do to resolve it?

You may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend you try using Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg to 100mg about 1 hour before sexual activity. This medication can help improve blood flow to the penis and support a stronger erection. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

Surgery recommended methods are shock wave lithotripsy,ureteroscopy,percutaneous nephrolitomy etc depending on the stone size.Here ureteroscopy is advised.

I have a bent penis and want to reduce the curvature permanently without surgery. Does homeopathy actually work for this or is it not effective?

Homeopathic remedies are not scientifically proven to effectively reduce penile curvature caused by Peyronie's disease. While some homeopathic practitioners may claim to have success, there is no strong evidence to support their effectiveness. Peyronie's disease is a condition where scar tissue (plaques) develops in the penis, causing curvature and pain.
