I'm feeling really down about the size of my penis. It's 5 inches when erect, which I think is around 12 cm. I'm worried if this is normal or if there's something wrong. Can you tell me if my size is within the normal range?

Your penis size of 5 inches (12 cm) when erect is within the normal range. The average erect penis size globally is around 5-5.5 inches, and size does not usually affect sexual satisfaction or fertility. Try to focus on overall health and confidence rather than size.

Hey there, I'm having a bit of an uncomfortable issue that's popped up over the last couple of weeks. During sex, I'm finding myself finishing way too quickly, and it's got me a bit worried. I've been married for 9 years and we have 2 kids, and this is something totally new for me. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and what I could do about it?

It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.
