I'm dealing with herpes, and my doctor confirmed it's affecting my penis. A couple of months ago, I had Bell's palsy. I'm worriedcan herpes come back, and which type might this be? Can anyone provide some guidance?

It sounds like you're dealing with a couple of challenging conditions. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause outbreaks in various areas, including the genital region. As for Bell's palsy, while it's typically a one-time occurrence, some people may experience it again, but the risk is low. I recommend following your doctor's guidance on managing both conditions and staying informed about any recurrence signs.

I'm a 17-year-old guy and I'm really worried about a few things. I've got a pretty small penis, like about 3 inches, and I've been masturbating every day for the past three years. I just can't seem to stop. I'm also dealing with premature ejaculation, which happens really fast, and there are wrinkles on my penis. Is there any way to increase penis size or help with these issues?

If you have a problem with obtaining and maintaining erections, you can seek help from a sexual health expert, who can prescribe you medication to deal with Erectile Dysfunction, and also Premature Ejaculation. If you are referring to increasing the size of the erect penis, there is no medication to facilitate that. Cosmetic surgeries are possible, but often expensive and rare. You can visit a specialist for further information on the matter.

While many traction devices are available, starting with a device that offers gentle and consistent stretching is generally recommended.
