I'm really into sex and usually have a great time, but I've noticed that after the first round, it takes me more than 5 hours to get an erection again. It's starting to worry me. Any advice on what might be going on or how I can improve this?

It's normal for recovery time after sex (the refractory period) to vary between individuals, and it may lengthen with age or fatigue. Staying hydrated, reducing stress, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help. If the issue persists, consult a doctor to rule out hormonal or circulation-related concerns.

I'm really worried about something that happened recently. My friend accidentally hit me really hard in the testicles, and it hurt a lot. Do you think this could affect my sperm count? If so, how much? I'm not sure what to do next and could really use some guidance.

Any temprorary injury has less chances to have effect on sperm count. If you have any swelling or severe pain or redness kindly consult Doctor.

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 penis curves to the left at about a 45-degree angle can medicines help straighten it without needing surgery? I'm really worried about this and want to avoid surgery if possible. What options do I have?

If your penis curves to the left at a 45-degree angle, and you want to avoid surgery, you have several nonsurgical treatment options, including medications and devices. Medications like collagenase and verapamil, when injected into the penis, can help break down scar tissue and improve the curve. Traction devices, like vacuum erection devices or penile traction devices, can also help straighten the penis over time by gently stretching it.
