Normal Variation: Penis size varies widely, and a smaller size doesn't necessarily indicate a health issue.
-
Development Timeline: Most males reach full adult size by late teens to early twenties, but some development may continue slightly into early twenties.
-
When to Seek Help: If concerned about size or signs of delayed puberty, consult a healthcare professional for evaluation.
-
Avoid Stress: Stress is common but can affect well-being. Consider talking to a doctor or counselor.
-
No Quick Fixes: Be cautious of products claiming to increase size, as many are ineffective or unsafe.

I'm a bit worried because my penis bends to the left when it's fully erect. It kinda seems like it affects its length. I'm not really keen on surgery, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to straighten it out.
A bent penis, also known as Peyronie's disease, can be addressed through non-surgical methods, including oral medications like vitamin E, potassium para-aminobenzoate (Potaba), and pentoxifylline; topical creams containing verapamil or interferon; and physical therapy techniques like penile traction therapy (PTT) using devices like the Penimaster or Vacu Devices, which can help straighten the penis and potentially improve length appearance, but consult a urologist or healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition.

My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer with a biopsy score of 4410 but his bone scan came back negative. Can this be treated with just medications or does he need surgery?
A Gleason score of 4+4=8 is considered high-grade prostate cancer, indicating a higher risk of aggressive growth and potential spread. A negative bone scan suggests the cancer hasn't yet spread to the bones. While medication (hormone therapy) can be effective for advanced prostate cancer, surgery (radical prostatectomy) is a primary treatment option for localized prostate cancer. The best approach for your dad will depend on his specific situation, including the extent of the cancer within the prostate and his overall health.
