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'm really struggling with my flaccid penis size it's around 4.5 inches and almost looks erect all the time. It's causing me so much embarrassment because people keep staring at my groin area, and I can't even tuck my shirt in for work or formal events. It's making me feel really depressed. Are there any medications or surgeries that could help? Would cosmetic plastic surgery be an option for this?

A flaccid length of 4.5 inches is within normal range. If it's causing psychological distress, consult a urologist or plastic surgeon‚Äîoptions like ligament release exist but are controversial.

I'm a bit concerned because my father has had laser prostate treatments twice before, once in 2011 when his prostate was 50mm, and then again in 2014 when it was 60mm. Despite that, he still has issues with prostate enlargement. By August 2015, his prostate had grown to 76mm. We decided to try ayurvedic treatment, and by October 2015, it's down to 56mm. Is this kind of fluctuation normal, and should we be worried about long-term effects or stability, especially since he has gone through both laser and ayurvedic treatments? Any advice on what to keep an eye on or consider moving forward?
