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

I've been having a mild blockage in my urethra, but only sometimes most of the time it's just a bit of trouble starting. There's no pain, burning, or blood, and I don't have issues emptying my bladder. The blockage feeling is right at the tip when I pee. Could this go away on its own without needing surgery?
