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 dealing with some itching under the skin of my penis head, and when I wash it, I sometimes notice white smegma. Occasionally, there's even a reddish ring under the skin. I've been struggling with this for about a year and a half now. I've visited a couple of doctors and followed their prescriptions for antibiotics and creams, but it always comes back about two weeks after I finish the medication. Do you think circumcision might be a good solution to get rid of this issue once and for all? I'm really unsure about what to do next.
Yes its bettr to get circumcision done ,visit general surgeon for appropriate management

I have really tight foreskin and I know it's phimosis. I'm looking for a way to treat it with medicine instead of surgery because I'm really worried about this. Can you suggest any non-surgical options that might help?
circumcision is advised ,sx opinion for follow up.

I've been wondering about a few things and wanted to get your advice. I'm curious if a penis size of 12-13 cm is considered good for sex, and are there any natural ways to increase size? Also, I tend to release sperm quite quickly, often within a minute, and I wonder how I might control that better. Does masturbation actually make your penis size smaller? I'd love some recommendations on foods that could help with penis enlargement and improving sperm health. Is it okay to shave regularly down there, and I also spend a lot of time nude at home; could that be harmful in any way?
Consult Psychiatrist for appropriate management and evaluation
