I've been wondering about my penis size. It's about 13.5 cm and I'm not sure if that's considered normal or on the smaller side. Is there anything I can do to make it bigger? I'm really curious to know if enlargement is possible.

A penis size of 13.5 cm (about 5.3 inches) is within the average range for adult men. There are no medically proven methods to significantly enlarge the penis. If you have concerns, it's best to discuss them with a healthcare professional to understand what's normal and to address any underlying issues.

View allI have a 3 cm kidney stone and I'm diabetic but no other issues - is it possible to treat this without surgery or is that my only option
A 3cm kidney stone is large and may not pass on its own, and surgery or other procedures are often necessary. While some smaller stones can be managed with conservative measures like increased fluid intake and pain medication, a stone of this size typically requires intervention. Given your diabetes, it's crucial to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action, as uncontrolled diabetes can complicate treatment and increase the risk of complications.

I'm noticing that my penis tends to lean to the right side, both when it's erect and when it's not. Plus, one of my testicles seems larger than the other. I recently masturbated for the first time in 56 days, and I felt pain during both masturbation and ejaculation. I'm feeling pretty worried about all this and wondering what could be going on with me. What should I do?
You should know that to form a semen lot of energy is utilised in the body and in masturbation again lot of calories is burned, so if done excessively might cause fatigue and tiredness. During this act, due to excessive force there might be injury to the genitals. There are evidences which suggest that excessive masturbation might aggravate hair loss and it might cause premature ejaculation which will cause difficulties in concieving in the future. So I suggest you to do yoga and mainly meditation to have some willpower to control your habit. Try to engage in some athletic activities wity your friends.try to be invovled with your family which gives you a grounded atmosphere. If possible try to study in a library or do a combined study, just the fear of getting caught will itself might act beneficial. If you are still not satisfied kindly consult a physician for further managemen

I'm feeling a bit confused about who to see for issues with erectile dysfunction. Should I be looking for a urologist or is an andrologist the right specialist? What's the actual difference between the two?
Mild splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) can coexist, but it's unclear if the enlarged spleen is directly causing your digestive issues. _Possible connections:_ 1. *Splenic flexure syndrome*: An enlarged spleen can put pressure on the splenic flexure (a part of the colon), leading to digestive issues like bloating, abdominal pain, and changes in bowel movements. 2. *Immune system imbalance*: The spleen plays a role in immune function. An enlarged spleen might contribute to immune system imbalances, which could exacerbate IBS symptoms. 3. *Inflammation*: Splenomegaly can be associated with chronic inflammation, which might worsen IBS symptoms. _However, it's essential to note:_ 1. *IBS is a complex condition*: IBS has multiple factors contributing to its development, including gut motility, hypersensitivity, and psychological factors. 2. *Mild splenomegaly might not be the primary cause*: Your IBS symptoms might be unrelated to the enlarged spleen, or the spleen might be only one of several contributing factors.
