I'm really concerned about an issue I've been dealing with. I was addicted to prone masturbation for about 10 years, and even though I stopped two years ago, I feel like my penis is damaged. The base is very smooth, there's a bend to the left, and I can't maintain an erection for more than a few seconds. It's been really affecting me mentally. What can I do to address this problem?

I've been dealing with prostate swelling that causes pain when I pee and during sex. My urologist prescribed GeripodD tablets but the issue keeps coming back frequently. I can't hold my urine for long because of the pain. The swelling is only on the right side with no testicle enlargement. Is there any way to treat this without surgery or maybe through laparoscopic methods?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've had a circumcision about 20 days ago, and I'm starting to get worried about the incision scar. Is there any cream that can help with scar removal, or are there any other options you would recommend to get rid of the scars?

-I'd advise you to be patient with the healing process, as scars can take several months to improve. Keeping the area moisturized and protected from sun exposure is key to minimizing scarring.
