I'm a bit worried because I've been noticing some changes down there. It seems like my penis has gotten smaller, especially when it's not erect. I think it might be because I've been masturbating quite a lot. Can you tell me what I might be able to do to get it back to its normal size?

Try using a topical cream containing Alprostadil. Apply a pea-sized amount of Alprostadil cream directly to the penis twice daily. Additionally, you can take Tadalafil tablets once daily at a dose of 5mg. These medications can help improve blood flow to the penis and promote natural size restoration. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

I've always been really good at sex, but over the last ten years, I've been masturbating at least 3 to 6 times a day. I used to be able to perform 6 times a night, but now, even though I still masturbate daily, I find myself ejaculating too early, like within 15 seconds during sex. It's been getting worse, and I feel weaker when it comes to sex. What should I do about this?

I've noticed my penis seems to be getting really small and even shrinking up to my lower abdomen when I go to urinate, particularly this winter. Im 36 and have never experienced this before. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a medical issue?

Cold Weather: Exposure to cold temperatures can cause blood vessels to constrict, leading to a temporary decrease in penis size. This is a common phenomenon, especially during winter months.

I have bilateral varicocele with grade 12.6mm on one side and 2.3mm on the other and I really don't want to go through surgery Has anyone successfully treated varicocele with homeopathic medicines Would love to see some ultrasound reports from patients who've had positive results

How Are Varicoceles Treated? Most varicoceles need no special treatment. A varicocele is usually harmless and more than likely won't affect a guy's ability to father a child later in life. But if there is any pain and swelling, the doctor may prescribe an anti-inflammatory medicine to relieve it.
