I'm concerned because when my penis becomes erect, it bends downward, and it's about 5 inches in size. I'm really curious if there's a way to make it straighter and maybe even increase the size. Can you help with this?

It's common for the penis to have a slight bend during an erection, and this often doesn't require treatment unless it causes discomfort or affects sexual function. If you're concerned about the bend or size, consider consulting a urologist to rule out any underlying conditions like Peyronie's disease and explore safe options for treatment. As for size, non-surgical methods are limited, and a healthcare professional can guide you on realistic expectations and options.

I'm 28 and worried about my penis size both length and girth seem smaller than average. Could this be a medical issue that needs surgery or just a consultation? I also smoke and drink regularly could that be affecting things?

nothing to worry ,it is physiological process.

I've noticed that my penis is 4.5 inches when erect with a girth of 4 inches, and Im wondering if theres anything I can do to make it longer and bigger. I've seen pills being sold both in markets and online, and I'm curious if any of them actually work. If they do, could you recommend one? I'm also exploring if there are specific exercises or yoga that could improve blood flow to the penis. Also, if I increase my testosterone levels by using ashwagandha, will that have any effect on penis growth? I'm really looking for advice on this, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

The size you mentioned is within the average range, and most pills or products claiming to increase size are not effective or safe. Focus on improving blood flow through Kegel exercises, pelvic stretches, and a healthy lifestyle. Ashwagandha may boost testosterone but won't directly impact penile growth.
