I've been using delay spray for the past 7-8 years to help with PE, but I haven't really paid attention to the instructions all that time. Now my partner and I are trying for a baby and there's a chance we might have conceived, but nothing is confirmed yet. I'm just worried if the delay spray could have any effects on conceiving or on the embryo or fetus that's developing. Could it be a potential issue?

Delay sprays typically contain local anesthetics like lidocaine or benzocaine, which are generally considered safe for external use in small amounts. However, prolonged or excessive use could potentially affect sperm motility. Its advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice, especially when trying to conceive.

I've been having this pain in my penis for a couple of months now, especially when it gets erect. Its really concerning me. Does this sound like something serious? What could be causing pain inside my penis?

An erection normally occurs in response to physical or psychological stimulation. This stimulation causes certain blood vessels to relax and expand, increasing blood flow to spongy tissues in the penis. Consequently, the blood-filled penis becomes erect. After stimulation ends, the blood flows out, and the penis returns to its nonrigid (flaccid) state. Priapism occurs when some part of this system the blood, blood vessels or nerves changes normal blood flow, resulting in painful erections. Consult urologist for further evaluation...
