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.

I'm experiencing some discoloration on the top part of my glans after being treated for secondary phimosis with a cream from a dermatologist. Theres no pain or irritation, but the doctor mentioned it could be LSABXO and might not be treatable. Is there any way to treat this discoloration, and if it's not treated, what could happen? Also, I've noticed I can keep the foreskin retracted without feeling any tightness. Is it okay to do this auto-circumcision all the time?

Discoloration Treatment and Potential Complications 1. Treatment options: For the discoloration, similar to vitiligo, treatment options are limited. Your dermatologist may recommend: - Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. - Topical immunomodulators to modulate the immune response. - Phototherapy, such as narrowband UVB, to stimulate repigmentation. 2. Potential complications: If left untreated, the discoloration may: - Persist or worsen over time.

I have mild right varicocele but the pain is pretty bad should I consider surgery or is there a way to manage it without going under the knife

Mild varicocele can be managed with scrotal support,anti‚Äëinflammatories,and lifestyle changes;surgery is reserved for persistent pain or fertility issues.
