I'm really worried because my penis is only 3.5 inches when erect, and I recently had sex where my partner said it felt small and she couldn't really feel anything. On top of that, I came in about 5 minutes. I'm feeling pretty down about it all and don't know what to do. Can you offer any advice or help?

It's important to remember that every individual has different preferences, and sexual satisfaction isn't solely dependent on size. If you're concerned, you might want to focus on improving communication with your partner, exploring other ways to enhance intimacy, and perhaps seeking advice from a healthcare professional about performance or techniques. It's also helpful to address any anxiety or stress around sexual performance.

I've been masturbating twice a day for the last 45 years, and I've never actually had sex with someone before. Last night, I tried to get intimate with my girlfriend, and I found out that my penis wasn't getting hard enough for sex. It was really disappointing, and now I'm worried. Any suggestions on what I should do?

It's natural to feel worried, but occasional difficulty with erections can happen due to stress, anxiety, or overthinking. Masturbation habits aren't usually the cause. Try to relax, focus on the moment, and reduce stress. If the issue persists, consulting a doctor can help rule out physical or psychological factors.

I found out I have an epididymal cyst from an ultrasound and allopathic doctors are recommending surgery but I'm curious if there are any effective ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments instead

While surgery is the standard treatment for epididymal cysts, Ayurveda and homeopathy offer alternative approaches. Ayurveda focuses on addressing the root causes of the cyst, potentially using herbal remedies and lifestyle adjustments. Homeopathy considers individual symptoms and constitution, potentially using specific remedies to shrink the cyst. However, it's important to consult with qualified practitioners and consider the potential benefits and limitations of each approach
