I've been married for a year and a half, and I'm having trouble with penetration even when I'm erect. My wife is getting wet enough, but whenever we try, I just can't penetrate. What's going on, and how can we fix this?

This could be due to a condition called vaginismus (involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles) or psychological factors like performance anxiety. I recommend consulting a doctor to evaluate both partners, as this can often be treated with counseling, exercises, or therapy. Youre not alone in thishelp is available.

I've been having some pain when I start peeing, especially on days when I don't drink enough water. I had surgery for a urinary tube stricture last year and also have a history of kidney stones - could these issues be related to the discomfort I'm feeling now?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm a bit worried because I've been noticing some changes down there. It seems like my penis has gotten smaller, especially when it's not erect. I think it might be because I've been masturbating quite a lot. Can you tell me what I might be able to do to get it back to its normal size?

Try using a topical cream containing Alprostadil. Apply a pea-sized amount of Alprostadil cream directly to the penis twice daily. Additionally, you can take Tadalafil tablets once daily at a dose of 5mg. These medications can help improve blood flow to the penis and promote natural size restoration. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
