I'm really worried because I've noticed this white fungus-like stuff on the head of my penis, and the outer skin isn't moving back like it usually does. I can't pull the skin back to clean it properly. What could this be, and how should I deal with it?

I'm dealing with frequent trips to the bathroom for the past four days, and I just can't shake off the constant need to urinate. I'm starting to get worried. Could there be something serious going on, or is this just something thatll pass?

I've been masturbating while lying down for a couple of years, and recently I found out it might be harmful to my penis. So, I stopped, but now I've noticed that my penis is curved to the right, and the color of the head has changed in some areas. Do you think I should see a doctor about this, or will it naturally get better if I just stop masturbating?

It's good that you've stopped, but changes in the shape or color of your penis could indicate a condition that needs attention. A curved penis could be a sign of **Peyronie's disease**, and changes in color might suggest other concerns. It's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and guidance on treatment.

I'm supposed to take finax 1mg tablets for the next three months, but I've read about side effects like loss of libido and erectile dysfunction. I'm really worried because I'm pretty sexually active and dont want it messing with my sex life. Can anyone give me an idea of how serious these side effects are or how much they might impact me?
