I'm experiencing a tingling sensation in my penile nerves, but I haven't had any trauma, and my blood reports came back negative. Could this be due to frequent or hardcore masturbation? I also feel a burning sensation at the tip of my penis after peeing, but it happens only if I watched porn before. Is there a way this could heal naturally? I'm really depressed about this situation. I've been prescribed tricyclic antidepressants by my doctor for 3 months, but its been 4 months now, and I only took them for 2 months. Can these meds help with my issue, or do you have any other suggestions? I'm looking for advice on what steps to take next.

It is possible that the tingling sensation in your penile nerves, along with the burning sensation at the tip of the penis before urination, could be related to nerve irritation or inflammation. This could be aggravated by frequent or vigorous masturbation. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking Vitamin B complex supplements, which can support nerve health. Additionally, you can apply a topical numbing cream containing lidocaine to the tip of the penis to help with the burning sensation. As for the tricyclic antidepressants you were prescribed, they can sometimes be used to help manage nerve-related pain. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Since you have only taken the medication for 2 months out of the recommended 3 months, it may be beneficial to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed. It is also important to practice good genital hygiene, avoid any activities that worsen your symptoms, and give your body time to heal naturally. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management

I've been noticing that I get these small scars on the foreskin of my penis. They seem to heal pretty quickly, like in 2 to 3 days, but then they reappear especially after having sex. I'm kinda worried about this cycle. Any idea what's going on and how I can stop this from happening?

Hey, I'm a bit concerned because after masturbating, my foreskin isn't going back up and it's a little swollen underneath. There's no pain, but it's making me a bit anxious. Any advice on what I should do?

It sounds like you might be experiencing temporary swelling or tightness in the foreskin after masturbation, which can happen occasionally. If there's no pain or severe discomfort, it should improve on its own. However, if it persists or causes more concern, it's a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for reassurance.

My penis curves to the left when it's fully erect and it makes it look shorter than it is. Is there any way to straighten it without surgery?

A slight curve in the erect penis is common and usually not a concern unless it's causing pain or difficulty during intercourse. If the curve is significant, you might have a condition called Peyronie‚Äôs disease. Non-surgical options like oral medications, penile traction therapy, or injections (like collagenase) may help‚Äîconsult a urologist for proper evaluation and guidance.
