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.

Can plastic surgery help repair damaged nerves in the penis if they haven't healed on their own

Yes, in some cases, plastic surgery, particularly nerve grafting, can help repair damaged nerves in the penis if they haven't healed on their own, and can potentially restore erectile function. However, nerve damage may be irreversible in some instances, and the success of surgical repair depends on the extent and cause of the damage.

I've been having trouble since last week with my penis not getting hard enough during sex. I can still enter it into the vagina, but I end up discharging very quickly. I've been married for two years, and this issue just started nowit didn't happen for the first 20 months. I've been taking Scelepra 10 mg daily, as my psychiatrist suggested, because I had a similar problem right after getting married. I'm wondering if this is a physical or psychological issue, and should I consider doing any tests or changing medications?
