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.

My dad's ultrasound shows his prostate is enlarged at 56x51x50 mm with a volume of 77.7 cc. The doctor suggested surgery, but I'm wondering if medication could work instead is the size too big for meds to help?

Large size prostate causes urinary symptoms but to decide for the surgery patients symptoms are more important then the size alone.So if he is suffering more surgery may help

I'm 17 and I've noticed that my penis is completely covered by the foreskin, even over the glans. This makes it really difficult for urine to come out properly because the foreskin covers that area too. I'm not sure what to do or if I should be worried. Can you help me figure out what I should do next?

you can go for circumstances, consult gynecologist
