I'm worried that my penis, which measures 13 cm when erect, might not be enough to satisfy my partner. This is affecting my confidence during sex. Can you tell me what the average length of an erect penis is? I'm just unsure if I fall within the normal range.

The average length of an erect penis is about 12-16 cm (4.7-6.3 inches), so your measurement is well within the normal range. Penile length is less important for sexual satisfaction than confidence, communication, and emotional connection with your partner. You are perfectly normal!

For the past few months, I've been dealing with a burning sensation when I pee and having to push hard to empty my bladder. The flow is slow, not smooth, and sometimes splits into multiple streams. My doctor thinks it's likely a stricture and suggested surgery. Are there other treatment options? Also, I've noticed a sudden drop in libido and weaker erections could this be connected?

A urethral stricture can cause these symptoms; options like dilation or endoscopic urethrotomy may be tried before surgery.

I've been circumcised for about a month now and I'm wondering if it's okay to use aloe vera gel on the wound. Does it help speed up healing or reduce scarring? Or is there a better gel or cream I should consider for a circumcised wound?
