I've been dealing with a problem that's really starting to worry me. I'm a 23-year-old guy, and I think I've kind of overdone it with masturbation over the past few yearslike three times a day for seven years. Now I feel like my penis has lost a lot of its sensitivity, and it's causing me erectile dysfunction and making it hard to enjoy sex. I've been searching everywhere online, but I just can't find any meds or treatments that might help with this. Could you let me know if theres anything I can do about it? Maybe some medicine or something to regain sensitivity?

To help improve sensitivity and address erectile dysfunction, you can try using a topical medication called Lidocaine gel. Apply a small amount of Lidocaine gel to the tip of your penis before intercourse to help increase sensitivity. Additionally, you can also try medications like Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) to help with erectile dysfunction. These medications work by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping you achieve and maintain an erection. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you.

I've noticed some white skin on the tip of my penis, and it's really sensitive to touch. The rest of the skin feels normal, almost like there's a difference I can't explain. What could this be, and should I be worried about it?

I've noticed that a year ago, my right kidney was measured at 10cm during an abdominal ultrasound. I recently had another scan done at a different diagnostic center, and they measured my right kidney at 9.1cm. Should I be worried about this change in size, even though everything else seems normal with no issues reported? What do you think?

Phimosis can be uncomfortable and affect your quality of life. While surgery is often recommended, there are some non-surgical methods you can try to help manage your symptoms: *Non-Surgical Methods* 1. *Stretching exercises*: Gently stretch your foreskin over a period of time to help loosen it. You can try using a lubricant to reduce friction. 2. *Topical creams*: Apply topical creams or ointments containing steroids, such as betamethasone, to help reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. 3. *Bath therapy*: Soak in a warm bath for 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a week, to help relax the foreskin and make it more pliable. 4. *Manual manipulation*: Gently manipulate your foreskin under the guidance of a healthcare professional to help loosen it. *Precautions* 1. *Avoid forceful retraction*: Don't force your foreskin to retract, as this can cause injury, bleeding, or scarring. 2. *Monitor for infection*: Watch for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or discharge. 3. *Consult a doctor*: If you experience any severe symptoms or if your symptoms worsen, consult a doctor for guidance. *When to Consider Surgery* 1. *Severe symptoms*: If you experience severe pain, difficulty urinating, or recurrent infections. 2. *Failed non-surgical methods*: If you've tried non-surgical methods without success. 3. *Complications*: If you develop complications, such as paraphimosis (foreskin trapped behind the glans), seek immediate medical attention.
