I've found a painless ulcer where my penis head meets the foreskin, and it's really got me worried. I haven't had any sexual encounters in the last four months, just been on my own, you know, self-masturbation. What could be causing this?

Since you're experiencing an ulcer-like lesion, its important to get a proper diagnosis from a healthcare professional. They may take a swab or perform an examination to identify any infections or other underlying conditions. If it doesnt improve or if you experience pain, discharge, or other concerning symptoms, its best to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I'm experiencing this weird vibrating sensation at the tip of my penis. It gets really strong during or after sex, and sometimes after I feel the urge to pee but can't go right away. Other times, it can just come and go randomly. I've only been with my wife, and we've both gone through Togocin injections and a bunch of different antibiotics twice. That seemed to help for a bit, but the symptoms keep coming back and get worse if I don't take the meds. Interestingly, my wife hasn't had any issues or symptoms like mine. What could be going on?

The recurring vibrating sensation on the tip of your penis, exacerbated by sex, urination issues, and temporarily relieved by antibiotic treatments, may indicate a chronic bacterial infection, such as chronic prostatitis or urethritis, possibly caused by a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like chlamydia or gonorrhea; however, the fact that your wife is asymptomatic and that the symptoms persist despite treatment suggests that other factors might be contributing, such as pelvic floor dysfunction, nerve irritation, or an allergic reaction; consult a urologist

I'm really worried because I've been masturbating for about 5 years, and now my penis looks different, kind of out of shape. I'm not sure if this will affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. On top of that, my legs have gotten really thin, and I feel pain in all my joints. My testicles are also quite painful. Did I somehow damage my penis? Could you help me understand what's going on?

Masturbation itself does not typically cause permanent damage to the penis or reproductive health; however, your symptoms, such as penis shape concerns, joint pain, thin legs, and testicular pain, may be related to other factors, including over-masturbation, which can lead to temporary issues like fatigue, muscle strain, or inflammation; consider consulting a urologist

I've noticed that my penis, when flaccid and stretched, tends to bend to the left at about a 30 to 40-degree angle. I'm worried if this is normal. Is there any way to fix it, maybe some device that could help straighten it out? I'm really looking for some guidance on how I can get my flaccid bend straightened. Any advice would be really appreciated.

It sounds like you may have Peyronie's disease, which is a condition where scar tissue forms in the penis, causing it to bend during erections. To help straighten your flaccid penis, you can try using a vacuum erection device like the brand name "Vacurect" or "Erec-Tech" under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Additionally, medications like "Xiaflex" may be prescribed to help break down the scar tissue. It's important to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
