I've noticed that whenever I drink water, I end up needing to use the toilet in just about 5 minutes. Because of this, I try not to drink too much water, especially at night. It's kind of worrying me, and I'm not sure what I should do about it. Any ideas?

my penis hole has been getting smaller over the past 3 years can it go back to normal without surgery

It's possible your penile meatus (the opening at the tip of the penis) is narrowing, potentially due to meatal stenosis or a urethral stricture. While surgery is often the primary treatment for these conditions, dilation (stretching the opening) may be an option, and in some cases, the narrowing might resolve on its own or with other treatments. It's crucial to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations, as they can assess the severity and suggest the best course of action
