Is there a way to increase penis size? I'm worried because my erection size is about 5.1, but it's really small when flaccid, almost like it's squeezed. Could my daily masturbation habit be affecting this, and what can I do about it?
It's important to understand that daily masturbation is not likely to cause a permanent decrease in penis size. Penis size can vary significantly among individuals and can be influenced by factors such as genetics, hormonal levels, and overall health. If you're concerned about your size or experience discomfort, its a good idea to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss safe, evidence-based options for improving sexual health.

I had right inguinal hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh on the right side about 3 months ago but I'm still having pain in the areas marked with green dots in the photo I attached - is this normal or should I be concerned about the pain continuing this long after surgery
While some pain after hernia and varicocele surgery is normal, persistent pain three months post-surgery, especially in the areas marked in your photo, should be evaluated by your doctor. Though pain can persist for a few months, lasting pain beyond that is considered chronic and may indicate complications like nerve damage or inflammation.
