I've been worried because back when I was a teenager, I was really into musterbation and didn't realize it could be harmful. Now I'm dealing with low sperm count and erectile dysfunction, and I'm concerned because my penis veins seem lifeless. Plus, there's always this watery discharge when I'm erect. I went to the doctor, and they said my sperm count is only 10 million. What should I do?

View allI'm thinking about using lignocaine jelly because I've heard it can help reduce the sensitivity of the glans penis, but I'm wondering how this might affect the process of getting an erection. I'm planning to apply it, but I'm a bit confused about how it all works together. Could you explain how lignocaine might impact erection and whether it's safe to use for this purpose?
Lignocaine jelly works by numbing the area it is applied to, reducing sensitivity. However, an erection is primarily caused by physical and psychological stimulation, leading to increased blood flow to the penis, not just sensitivity. So, even if the glans penis is less sensitive, the erection can still occur due to these other factors.

My foreskin won't pull back over the head of my penis and I think it might be phimosis. Are there other treatment options besides circumcision? Can I try using a steroid cream first before considering surgery?
circumcision is advised.
