I've been struggling for quite a while now. I did prone masturbation for about 10 years, and I've noticed some uncomfortable changes. My penis now seems damaged. It's bent to the left, the base feels unusually smooth, it's quite small, and my erections only last a few seconds at most. I stopped the prone masturbation two years ago, hoping things would get better, but it feels like the problem is just getting worse. I'm really worried and wondering what can be done to improve my situation. Could you please offer some guidance?

Im currently taking NOCULI B6 syrup to help with kidney stones. Im supposed to take 15 ml three times a day, but Im unsure about how much active ingredient is in each dose. Could you help me figure out the mg of this syrup in 15 ml? Also, I have two stones in each kidney, each measuring around 34 mm. How long should I be on this syrup to effectively treat them? And are there any potential side effects I should be aware of while taking this syrup?
