View allI'm a bit confused and worried about having an uncircumcised penis. Is there anything I should be considering if I want to get circumcised, or is there any issue with remaining uncircumcised? I've included a photo that resembles mine. Could you provide some advice?

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with erectile dysfunction for the past year, and it's been affecting my life in a big way. The doctor gave me some medicine to try, but I'm a bit anxious about whether it's safe and how effective it might be. Can you explain what I should expect from the treatment and if there are any side effects to watch out for?
It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.

I'm having this weird cold chill sensation at the tip of my penis every now and then. My urine and STD tests came back normal, which is a relief, but I'm still bothered by this feeling. I've been taking meds for angular stomatitis, and Matilda forte for some rare penis numbness I'd occasionally get when sitting cross-legged for too long, but the numbness has been improving. The chillness is super irritating, and it's hard for me to describe it properly to my GP. I noticed if I drink a couple of glasses of water or wash the area with warm water, it might get a bit better or just disappear, not totally sure. I have this theory that these sensations started after I was on some meds for a minor skin infection, and had to suddenly stop them when I was told to just drink a lot of water, which I never felt this way before. Could you help me figure out whats going on?
