I'm a 27-year-old male dealing with an overactive bladder and urge incontinence. My urologist prescribed meds that helped but caused hard stools and anal fissures. After switching meds, the same issue came back, and I even had to get surgery for the fissure. The doctor says there are only two types of bladder-relaxing meds available, and both cause dry mouth and constipation. I'm really anxious because this feels never-ending are there really no other options that won't give me these side effects? My life has become so difficult because of this.

While the commonly prescribed medications for overactive bladder may cause side effects like constipation and dry mouth, it's not necessarily true that no other options exist. There are several alternative approaches to managing overactive bladder and urge incontinence, including lifestyle modifications, bladder training techniques, and other medical interventions like Botox injections or nerve stimulation, which might be worth exploring with your urologist.

View allI've been bed humping since I was a kid, like maybe from 6th or 7th grade. Now that I'm having real sex, my penis gets hard at first but then it just doesn't stay that way. Is there something wrong, or is it normal? What can I do about it?

I'm a 33-year-old married guy who's been having some trouble with my sex life for about a year now. I used to be really into it, especially with my last girlfriend who was amazing in bed, but since she left, things have gone downhill. I can't seem to get an erection, or if I do, it doesn't last long. I only manage to have sex every couple of weeks, and even that's pretty rare. Lately, I can't sleep well and have been feeling kind of down. Masturbation doesn't help much either, at best I can do it once every few days. What can I do to get back to normal? I really need some advice.

I'm a bit worried about the curvature of my penis. I've read that castor oil massages might help with this issue. Can this really improve the symptoms or even reduce the unwanted bend? Are there other oils or any methods you'd recommend to fix this kind of problem?
Castor oil massage may potentially help alleviate symptoms of a bent penis, but it's essential to understand the underlying cause of the curvature. *Causes of Penile Curvature:* 1. Peyronie's disease (fibrotic tissue formation) 2. Injury or trauma 3. Congenital conditions
