I'm really struggling with my flaccid penis size it's around 4.5 inches and almost looks erect all the time. It's causing me so much embarrassment because people keep staring at my groin area, and I can't even tuck my shirt in for work or formal events. It's making me feel really depressed. Are there any medications or surgeries that could help? Would cosmetic plastic surgery be an option for this?

I've been having really bad pain in my lower abdomen and my IVP report says my left kidney isn't showing up on the scan. The doctor told me my left kidney is in the tube and surgery isn't an option. I'm really worried is there any chance surgery could still be possible? What does this mean for me?
kindly share report
