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.

My testicles have been feeling loose and painful for the past two years. The urologist said there's nothing to worry about since the echo test results were positive, but I'm still concerned. Could this discomfort be related to a lack of nutrients in my body? Could you please help clarify this for me?

Anal fissures can be sensitive and delicate during the healing process. Having sex with your partner may pose some risks: 1. Discomfort or pain during intercourse 2. Reopening or exacerbating the fissure 3. Introducing bacteria, potentially leading to infection To minimize risks, consider: 1. Waiting until your fissure is fully healed (usually 4-6 weeks) 2. Using lubricants and gentle positions to reduce discomfort 3. Practicing good hygiene and cleaning the area before and after sex Consult your doctor or a gastroenterologist for personalized advice.

Where does sperm go after vasectomy?

The sperm, which are made in the testicles, cannot pass through the vas deferens once they have been cut and tied, so they are reabsorbed by the body.
