View allMy penis has a noticeable curve when erect but it's straight when flaccid. It doesn't cause any pain but I'm self-conscious about how it looks. I'm not sexually active right now and don't plan to be soon, but I'm worried this might cause problems later. I masturbate with my left hand could that be related? I read that surgery might be the only fix but I really don't want to go that route. Is this curve normal or something I should address now? Could it affect my sex life in the future?
It is normal ,nothing to worry.If still facing issues please consult dermatologist.

I'm dealing with erectile dysfunction and was wondering if Tetrafol Plus could help with that. If it's not recommended, do you have any suggestions for other medications that might work? I'm really looking for something effective.
Tetrafol Plus is primarily a multivitamin supplement and is not specifically used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). For ED, medications like Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis), or Vardenafil (Levitra) are commonly prescribed. It's best to consult with a healthcare provider for the most suitable treatment for your condition.

I had a circumcision done about 3 weeks ago and it seems like it's healed. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have intercourse now? How long should I wait before it's safe to do so after the procedure?
It's great to hear that your circumcision has healed. Typically, it's recommended to wait around **4 to 6 weeks** after the procedure to ensure full healing before engaging in intercourse. However, if you're feeling comfortable and have no pain or discomfort, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor to ensure everything is healing well before proceeding.
