I'm really concerned about the size of my penis and I'm hoping for some advice on how to increase it. Right now, when it's hard, it's about 5 inches, but I wish it were a bit larger. Can you offer any suggestions on this?

It's completely normal to have concerns about body image, but it's important to understand that size and thickness are often less significant than factors like intimacy, trust, and communication in relationships. There are no proven medications or treatments for increasing penis thickness. If you're still concerned, I recommend speaking to a urologist for personalized advice and support.

View allI've had undescended testicles since birth, and now only one is in my scrotum. I've never talked about this with anyone, but it's made me worry about my small penis size and whether I can have children. Should I get treatment or surgery for this, or is it not a problem? Also, how much would the treatment cost?

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've been able to get good erections when I'm having sex or masturbating, but I never have morning erections. I'm wondering why that might be. Recently, I've also noticed that when I'm standing up and masturbating, I can't quite get a full erection. I feel like this could be psychological because I've always masturbated while sitting down. But reading stuff online just seems to make me more stressed about it. Is there really something like position-dependent erections? And is watching porn and masturbating harmful in any way?
It is not uncommon for some men to experience variations in their erections based on different positions or situations. The absence of morning erections can sometimes be due to hormonal factors or changes in sleep patterns. As for your difficulty achieving full erection in a standing position during masturbation, it is possible that your body is simply adjusting to a new position. Position-dependent erections can occur due to changes in blood flow and muscle tension. Regarding the impact of porn and masturbation, excessive consumption of pornographic material and frequent masturbation can potentially lead to desensitization and performance anxiety. It is important to maintain a healthy balance and not rely solely on these activities for sexual satisfaction. If you continue to experience concerns about your erections, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I've noticed that after having intercourse with my partner, one side of my penis is swollen. There's no pain, but it does itch a bit. Is this normal after sex? Should I be doing something about it?
A swollen penis after intercourse, accompanied by itching but no pain, can be caused by an allergic reaction to latex condoms, lubricants, or spermicides, or by a skin condition like contact dermatitis; to alleviate symptoms, apply cool compresses, avoid scratching, and use antihistamine creams or hydrocortisone cream; however, if the swelling persists or worsens, or if you experience difficulty urinating, increased redness, or pain, consult a healthcare provider or a urologist for proper evaluation and guidance.
