I'm a bit worried because my penis bends to the left when it's fully erect. It kinda seems like it affects its length. I'm not really keen on surgery, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to straighten it out.

A bent penis, also known as Peyronie's disease, can be addressed through non-surgical methods, including oral medications like vitamin E, potassium para-aminobenzoate (Potaba), and pentoxifylline; topical creams containing verapamil or interferon; and physical therapy techniques like penile traction therapy (PTT) using devices like the Penimaster or Vacu Devices, which can help straighten the penis and potentially improve length appearance, but consult a urologist or healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition.

I'm curious if eating raw garlic on an empty stomach in the morning might help with erection issues and premature ejaculation. Have you heard of this working for anyone, and is it something worth trying?

Consuming raw garlic on an empty stomach may have some health benefits due to its potential to improve blood circulation, but there is limited scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness in treating erectile dysfunction (ED) or premature ejaculation (PE). For more effective treatment, it's important to consult a healthcare provider to identify underlying causes and explore appropriate therapies.
