I've been dealing with a urinary tract infection that lasted for nearly 2 months, from mid-February to mid-April. I initially thought this was why I couldn't ejaculate after masturbation during that period. Even though I'm now cured of the UTI, I'm worried because things aren't back to normal. After an orgasm, only a little semen comes out, and my penis feels really dry all the time. I'm really scared about this situation but I'm hesitant to visit a doctor because I'm still single. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Hi there..dry ejaculation ie man doesn't ejaculate semen after climax or releases very little.. many causes like repeated ejaculations use up al body's semen and hence further ejaculate can be dry, or Blocked sperm duct (ejaculatory duct obstruction), Certain medications used to treat high blood pressure, enlarged prostate and mood disorders, Genetic abnormalities of the reproductive system, Male hypogonadism (testosterone deficiency), retrograde ejaculation is common cause of dry ejaculate. Any surgery done over prostate, urethra could also cause.. sometimes dehydration also causes less semen.. have more fluids, don't be anxious about this, have proper nutritious food, maintain hygiene in private parts.. consult sexologist and urologist once.. there is nothing to be ashamed or scared to visit doctor for this problem since your single, as this needs evaluation and treatment as this could lead to infertility in future.

I'm noticing that my penis curves to the left and I'm a bit concerned about it. I was wondering if switching to my right hand for masturbation might help straighten it out? Does the hand I use actually affect the curvature? Would love some guidance on this.

A slight curve in the penis is usually normal and often doesn't require treatment. Using your right or left hand for masturbation won't change the curvature. However, if the curve is significant or causing discomfort, its a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions such as Peyronie's disease.

I have a tight frenulum with a very thin piece of skin attached to the tip of my penis at the bottom. What are the different types of frenuloplasty procedures available and which one is the least painful? Also, what's the approximate cost for this surgery in India? Should I consider getting circumcision done along with this procedure?

Frenuloplasty addresses a tight or short frenulum, the small skin fold connecting the foreskin to the glans. The procedure involves releasing the frenulum to improve retraction and reduce pain during erections. While circumcisicircumcision removes the entire foreskin, frenuloplasty focuses on the frenulum itself, preserving the foreskin
