I'm having trouble maintaining an erection during sex with my partner, even though I can get one during masturbation and foreplay. Its just during actual penetration where it becomes difficult to keep it up. I even tried taking Viagra 30 minutes before intercourse, but it didnt really help much. What can I do about this?

It sounds like you might be experiencing performance anxiety or a psychological component affecting your ability to maintain an erection during intercourse, even though you can achieve one during masturbation or foreplay. It's important to address any stress or anxiety related to sexual performance. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, which may include physical or psychological factors, and to discuss potential treatment options beyond medications like Viagra.

View allMy dad has 3 gall bladder stones and an enlarged prostate at 73 cc. Is surgery absolutely necessary or can he manage with just medications for now? Really worried about his condition and want to understand the options better.
For a 73 cc enlarged prostate and gallstones, surgery might not be immediately necessary for either condition, but it depends on the severity of symptoms and individual factors. Medications can help manage symptoms of both, and watchful waiting might be an option for asymptomatic gallstones. Consulting with a doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan is crucial.

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've got some worries about my penis size. I'm around 5.4 feet tall and weigh 74 kg. My size is about 5.3 to 5.4 inches, and I just don't feel okay with it. Is there anything I can do to increase it? What's the best way to go about this?
It's important to know that there are no medications or treatments that have been scientifically proven to permanently increase penis size. However, there are surgical options available such as penile implants or injections, but these come with risks and are usually reserved for individuals with medical conditions affecting the penis. For non-surgical options, you can try penile exercises such as jelqing or stretching exercises, but it's important to be cautious as these may cause injury if not done correctly. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol intake can help improve overall sexual health. It's important to remember that penis size does not determine sexual satisfaction, and communication with your partner is key. If you have further concerns, I recommend speaking with a urologist for personalized advice and guidance.
