I've been having this issue where every time I shake my penis, it gets this bulge on it. It's really odd because after about 8 hours, it seems to go back to its normal shape. This has been worrying me, and I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

The bulge on your penis after shaking it, which resolves on its own within 8 hours, might be due to a condition called Peyronie's disease or trauma-induced swelling; apply ice packs, avoid vigorous shaking, and consult a urologist for proper evaluation and guidance to prevent potential long-term damag

My dad had prostate surgery 3 years ago but still has urinary retention issues and has been dealing with prostate problems for like 20 years. The doctor just put in a urine drainage bag. Is this normal after so many years of prostate issues or should we be worried about something else going on?

Yes, long-standing prostate issues can lead to bladder damage and retention even after surgery. A urologist may assess for bladder dysfunction or urethral narrowing with urodynamic studies.
