A healthcare provider can help diagnose underlying causes and recommend treatments such as medications, lifestyle changes, or therapy. Lifestyle changes: Focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, reducing alcoholsmoking, and getting enough sleep. Stress management: Practice relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing, and consider therapy if anxiety or depression is involved. Pelvic exercises: Try Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improve erections. Open communication with your partner: Discussing concerns with your partner can reduce anxiety and improve intimacy. If symptoms persist, seek professional help to find the right treatment. Erectile dysfunction is common and treatable with the right approach.

I'm a bit worried because during intercourse, after just a couple of minutes, my penis becomes soft and slips out. I've heard about chewing on the penis to keep the mood going. Is this actually a safe or correct thing to do?

Depending on the cause and severity of your erectile dysfunction and any underlying health conditions, you might have various treatment options. Your doctor can explain the risks and benefits of each treatment and will consider your preferences. Your partner's preferences also might play a role in your treatment choices

I've lost about 3 kg this week, but I'm a bit concerned because whenever I'm cycling, it feels like my private area goes numb. I'm also taking Lippo 6 Black as a fat burner. Can you tell me what's going on and what I should do?

I'm a bit concerned about my penis. It's been slightly curved since I was young, and when it's not erect, it seems really small. When it is erect, it's about 4.5 inches. Plus, my foreskin doesn't really pull back much when I'm hard, and I'm not sure if that's normal. Can you give me some advice on whether this is something to worry about?

It's completely normal for some men to have a slight curvature in their penis, and it can vary in size when flaccid or erect. The difficulty pulling back your foreskin when erect could indicate a condition called phimosis, which is treatable. I recommend consulting a urologist for a proper evaluation and advice on potential treatment options.
