I'm really struggling with erectile dysfunction and it's starting to ruin my marriage. It wasn't such a big deal at first, but it just hasn't gone away. We've been married for four years now and it's gotten to the point where we don't even have any intimacy anymore because of this. What should I do? Can you help?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be emotionally challenging, especially in a marital context; consider consulting a urologist or a sex therapist to address underlying causes, which may include physical factors (e.g., diabetes, hypertension), psychological factors (e.g., anxiety, depression), or lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, obesity); counseling and therapy can also help you and your partner reconnect and strengthen your relationship.

Im reaching out from India.

Masturbating 1-2 times a day is generally considered a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, but excessive masturbation can lead to physical and mental health issues, such as fatigue, guilt, and decreased productivity; if you feel it's impacting your daily life, consider consulting UROLOGIST

My penis is about 11 cm and pretty thin which really bothers me. Are there any safe ways to make it bigger without going through surgery? I've been feeling really insecure about this and want to know what options I have.

While there's no guaranteed method to significantly increase penis size without surgery, some approaches may improve perceived size or erectile function, which can impact appearance. These include improving blood flow, overall health, and potentially using exercises like jelqing or Kegels
