I'm dealing with phimosis and struggling because I can't pull back the foreskin on my penis. Is there a way to treat this without going through surgery? I'm really concerned and could use some advice.

My penis has always curved to the left and I recently got a penile Doppler test that showed small plaques. The doctor said surgery is the only option but only if sex is uncomfortable. I want to straighten it but I'm worried about surgery risks. Are there any other treatments like penile traction devices that could work?

dermatologist opinion for the treatment .

I'm a bit concerned because my penis is extra large, and when I'm intimate with my girlfriend, she often finds it difficult to accommodate it comfortably. I'm worried that after marriage, this might cause issues if we want to get pregnant. Could having a larger penis affect my wife's ability to conceive?

initially it pains but gradually it subsides as vagina has expandable , it will not affect conception also don't worry

I'm curious about whether masturbating twice a week would cause a significant calorie loss. Also, does it have any impact on different parts of the body?

Masturbating twice a week burns about 20-30 calories per session. It's generally not harmful and doesn't significantly affect the body, though it can lead to temporary fatigue or muscle soreness in some people. As long as it's balanced with a healthy lifestyle, it's unlikely to cause any long-term issues.
