Ive been feeling a bit self-conscious about my flaccid penis sizeit seems small to me. But when I get an erection, it almost doubles in size. My testis seem normal, but the fluctuating size of my flaccid penis sometimes makes me worry. Some days it looks normal, and other days it seems very small. Is this something I should be concerned about?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as a retractile penis, where the penis appears smaller than usual when flaccid but increases in size upon erection. This can be a source of concern for many men, but it is important to know that it is not typically a sign of any serious medical issue. However, if this is causing you distress or affecting your confidence, you may consider speaking with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. In terms of medications, there are no specific drugs to address this issue. However, if you are looking to improve erectile function, you may consider medications such as Viagra (Sildenafil) or Cialis (Tadalafil) under the guidance of a healthcare provider. These medications can help improve blood flow to the penis and enhance erectile function. It is important to use these medications at the prescribed dosage and follow the recommendations of your healthcare provider.

I'm a 32-year-old woman and I've been getting this burning feeling when I pee, just like the last time I had a UTI. Is there an antibiotic you could recommend for now while I'm waiting to get my urine culture results?

Urinary tract infections can be painful, but you can take steps to ease your discomfort until antibiotics treat the infection. Follow these tips: Drink plenty of water. Water helps to dilute your urine and flush out bacteria. Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder.Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine until your infection has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate. Use a heating pad. Apply a warm, but not hot, heating pad to your abdomen to minimize bladder pressure or discomfort.
