I'm feeling really worried because after having sex for the first time, I've noticed that one side of my penis is swelling up. How long does it usually take for this kind of thing to go back to normal? Should I be concerned?

The swelling on one side of your penis after first-time sex could be due to a condition called penile Mondor's disease, a thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal vein, or other possible causes like trauma or friction during sex, and while it's usually a self-limiting condition

I've been struggling with premature ejaculation for the last 2 years and it's really affecting my life. I tend to discharge early and it's becoming quite frustrating. Could you help me understand what's going on and maybe suggest some medication or treatments that could help with this issue?

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common condition, and it's important to address both physical and psychological factors. I recommend speaking with a healthcare provider to rule out underlying causes, as treatments may include behavioral therapy, lifestyle changes, or medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or topical anesthetics to help delay ejaculation. Open communication with your partner can also be beneficial in managing this issue.
