An erection normally occurs in response to physical or psychological stimulation. This stimulation causes certain blood vessels to relax and expand, increasing blood flow to spongy tissues in the penis. Consequently, the blood-filled penis becomes erect. After stimulation ends, the blood flows out, and the penis returns to its nonrigid (flaccid) state.

Priapism occurs when some part of this system the blood, blood vessels or nerves changes normal blood flow, resulting in painful erections. Consult urologist for further evaluation...

I'm 19 and have been wondering if masturbating every day for a year could cause my testicles to become saggy. Could this be a real thing?

I've had a downward bend at the tip of my penis for as long as I can remember, probably because my foreskin is attached to the glans. I tried cutting it myself a few years ago and it helped a bit, but the bend still happens when I'm erect. I attached a picture so you can see. Is surgery the only fix for this or could daily stretching work? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible

Self diagnosis is harmful better consult a surgeon for best advice

I'm having a problem where my foreskin doesn't stretch properly because it never did from childhood. This makes sex really painful for me. I'm really worried and unsure about what to do. Can you give me some advice on how to deal with this?

You likely have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract; consult a urologist or a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and discussion of treatment options,
