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.

Will UTI go away on its own?

I've got some meftal spas tablets at home. Is it okay to take them for kidney stone pain since my family doctor prescribed them to me before? I'm a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe.
