How do you diagnose erectile dysfunction?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's mostly based on history of symptoms such as trouble getting an erection, trouble keeping an erection and reduced sexual desire. Tests are done to know the presence of any organic causes.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He had an abdomen scan and the results mentioned grade 1 prostatomegaly. What does that actually mean? Should we be concerned or is it something common? Could you help me understand this a bit more?
Grade 1 prostatomegaly indicates a mildly enlarged prostate (1-30% enlargement). It's generally not serious, but requires monitoring to prevent progression to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. Consult a urologist for guidance.

I'm really worried because I've noticed the hole in my penis seems to be getting larger, and I think it might be because Ive been masturbating a lot. Is there anything I can do to get it back to its original size?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as urethral meatal stenosis, where the opening of the urethra becomes enlarged. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In some cases, a topical steroid cream may be prescribed to help reduce the size of the opening. Additionally, if the enlargement is causing any discomfort or issues with urination, a surgical procedure called meatoplasty may be recommended to repair the opening of the urethra.

It's been 25 days since my ZSR circumcision surgery. The wound is mostly healed but I still have some side scars, and for the last 5 days, I've been having pain on the frenulum side. The doctor suggested massaging with vitamin E oil, but I'm not sure why the pain is still there. Feeling really stressed about it what could be causing this?
Stress.normal nothing to worry ok.
