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've been having this issue where after I ejaculate, I get a burning sensation and it feels kind of weird inside my penis. It doesn't happen every time, but even when it's not burning, there's this strange feeling that lingers for a while after. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can fix it?

When you experience a burning sensation inside your penis after ejaculation, it could be due to inflammation or infection in the urinary tract or prostate. I recommend you to take a course of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin to treat any possible infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any bacteria. If the symptoms persist, it is important to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.
