I'm a bit concerned about my penis. It's been slightly curved since I was young, and when it's not erect, it seems really small. When it is erect, it's about 4.5 inches. Plus, my foreskin doesn't really pull back much when I'm hard, and I'm not sure if that's normal. Can you give me some advice on whether this is something to worry about?

It's completely normal for some men to have a slight curvature in their penis, and it can vary in size when flaccid or erect. The difficulty pulling back your foreskin when erect could indicate a condition called phimosis, which is treatable. I recommend consulting a urologist for a proper evaluation and advice on potential treatment options.

I've noticed that whenever I drink water, I end up needing to use the toilet in just about 5 minutes. Because of this, I try not to drink too much water, especially at night. It's kind of worrying me, and I'm not sure what I should do about it. Any ideas?

I'm really worried and need some advice. Out of nowhere, a big bump or pimple showed up on the shaft of my penis, and it's causing a lot of pain whenever something touches it. Could you please help me understand what's going on? Is this something serious? I'm quite concerned.

It sounds like you may be experiencing an inflamed or infected pimple on your penis shaft. This can be caused by various factors such as poor hygiene, friction, or a bacterial infection. To help reduce the pain and inflammation, you can try using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and keeping the area clean and dry. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection such as pus or increasing redness, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've been struggling with masturbation for about 7 years now. It feels like I'm really addicted and I want to quit but I just don't know how. I'm also worried, does masturbating lead to low sperm count or could it affect my ability to have kids in the future? I'm pretty scared about this and would really appreciate some advice.
