I'm worried because my penis has suddenly gotten swollen, and I dont exactly know why. I was traveling on a bus last night, and this morning I noticed it was a bit swollen. Now, it seems to have gotten worse. There's been no sexual activity or anything else that could explain it. Could something have bitten me, and what should I do about it? Can you help me out with some advice?

View allWhy do I get frequent urinary tract infections?
Recurrent UTIs (RUTI) are mainly caused by reinfection by the same pathogen. Having frequent sexual intercourse is one of the greatest risk factors for RUTIs. In a subgroup of individuals with coexisting morbid conditions, complicated RUTIs can lead to upper tract infections or urosepsis.

I've noticed that my penis, when flaccid and stretched, tends to bend to the left at about a 30 to 40-degree angle. I'm worried if this is normal. Is there any way to fix it, maybe some device that could help straighten it out? I'm really looking for some guidance on how I can get my flaccid bend straightened. Any advice would be really appreciated.
It sounds like you may have Peyronie's disease, which is a condition where scar tissue forms in the penis, causing it to bend during erections. To help straighten your flaccid penis, you can try using a vacuum erection device like the brand name "Vacurect" or "Erec-Tech" under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Additionally, medications like "Xiaflex" may be prescribed to help break down the scar tissue. It's important to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been applying olive oil to my penis for about a week now, and I'm wondering if it's safe to use it on the glans too. Can using olive oil daily on my sensitive glans help with the sensitivity issue I'm experiencing?
Using olive oil on the glans is generally safe, but it wont specifically reduce sensitivity. Sensitivity could be due to various causes, like inflammation, irritation, or medical conditions. Its best to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and tailored advice.
