I'm 21 and pretty worried about my penis size. It's under 4 inches when erect, and that seems smaller than average. I'm really curious if there's still a chance it might grow naturally in the coming years, or if I should start thinking about surgical options soon. Would appreciate any advice on this.

At 21, your penis size is likely fully developed, with minimal chances of natural growth; research suggests that penis growth typically ends by age 18-20, with some variations; surgical options, like penile lengthening or girth enhancement, are available but carry risks and complication

I'm 27 and really want to start going to the gym but my grade 1 varicocele is holding me back is there any way to manage the pain and keep working out without needing surgery

Grade 1 doesnt require surgery .Antibiotics like ceftas 200 mg twice daily ,per orally for about 7 days is advised to the patient.

I've been having rashes and white discharge on my penis and my urologist recommended circumcision surgery. I'm not sure I want to go through with surgery could this be something like trichomoniasis instead? Who should I see to explore other treatment options?

Uneven breast size is common and often hormonal; for non-surgical options, consider proper bra fitting or consult an endocrinologist or plastic surgeon for evaluation.
