I've been masturbating since I was 12, and I'm worried it might've caused my penis to bend and shorten a bit. Is that possible?

I've been having some trouble with my sex life since getting married, and it's becoming a real issue. I'm not really sure which type of doctor I should reach out to for this. Could you help point me in the right direction?

As a newly married couple experiencing sexual difficulties, consider consulting an Andrologist (male specialist) or a Sexologist, who can address issues like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or performance anxiety; for females, a Gynecologist or a Sex Therapist can help with concerns like vaginal pain, low libido, or orgasmic difficulties.
