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?

I've had a slow urine flow since childhood and was recently diagnosed with a high bladder neck or bladder outlet obstruction. The doctor said surgery isn't suitable for me right now. Are there any permanent treatment options in ayurveda or homeopathy that could help without needing surgery?
A bladder neck obstruction may occur at birth due to connective tissue or muscle issues. This can cause a severe obstruction of the upper urinary tract and can lead to kidney malfunction, which can sometimes be fatal Homeopathy may offer some relief for the symptoms of bladder outlet syndrome (BOO), but it is not a cure for the underlying condition. While homeopathy can be helpful in managing symptoms like frequent urination and discomfort associated with bladder infections (cystitis), it cannot address the physical blockage or structural issues causing BOO

I'm 29 and I'm dealing with a few issues that are really bothering me. My penis is small, and I have trouble with it not getting hard when I'm having sex. Plus, I end up finishing way too quickly. It's really affecting my confidence, and I just want my penis to be bigger and thicker. Can you give me some advice or suggest something that might help?
For increasing penis size and improving hardness, you can consider taking Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg before sexual activity. For premature ejaculation, you can try Dapoxetine 30mg. Both medications can help improve your sexual performance. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you.
