I'm a bit worried about something that's been happening with my husband. We're both younghe's 32 and I'm 21and we've been married for six months. For the first five months, everything was fine, and he was able to insert his penis into my vagina. But for the past month, he hasn't been able to do that because it doesn't get strong enough. He can still release sperm, but the penis doesn't stay firm enough to insert. What could be causing this, and what should we do?

Your husband may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend he consult with a doctor to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, he can try using sildenafil (Viagra) before sexual activity to help with achieving and maintaining an erection. Remember to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by the doctor.

I'm noticing this red spot on the inner upper side of my penis glans. It doesn't hurt or itch, but I've observed it gets darker red after I masturbate or have sex, and otherwise, it just stays light red. Is this something I should be worried about?

Consult to a urologist for physical examination to be done.

I'm really concerned because it's been two years since I've had morning erections. I can't figure out what's causing this. Can you help me understand what's happening?

It's understandable to feel concerned, but morning erections can vary for many reasons, including stress, lifestyle changes, or underlying health conditions like hormonal imbalances or blood circulation issues. I recommend speaking to a healthcare provider to assess your situation and provide personalized guidance.
