I'm noticing that my penis curves to the left and I'm a bit concerned about it. I was wondering if switching to my right hand for masturbation might help straighten it out? Does the hand I use actually affect the curvature? Would love some guidance on this.

A slight curve in the penis is usually normal and often doesn't require treatment. Using your right or left hand for masturbation won't change the curvature. However, if the curve is significant or causing discomfort, its a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions such as Peyronie's disease.

I've been noticing extra skin around my penis and sometimes there's a white substance forming around it. Is this something that might need surgery to fix or is there another way to handle it? I'm a bit worried about what's going on

I'm experiencing some severe pain in my right testicle along with pain in my lower and mid-back on the right side. I'm wondering if this could be caused by prone masturbation? Could you advise me on who I should consult for this issue? Also, are there any painkillers you can recommend?

I'm uncircumcised and struggling to retract my foreskin. Is there a way to do this naturally at home without surgery? Can homeopathy help with this issue?

Yes, it's possible to gently and naturally try to retract your foreskin at home, especially if you're experiencing phimosis (a condition where the foreskin can't be retracted). Homeopathy might be a part of a complementary approach, but it's important to understand the limitations and seek guidance from a healthcare professional.
