My penis curves to the left at about a 45-degree angle can medicines help straighten it without needing surgery? I'm really worried about this and want to avoid surgery if possible. What options do I have?

If your penis curves to the left at a 45-degree angle, and you want to avoid surgery, you have several nonsurgical treatment options, including medications and devices. Medications like collagenase and verapamil, when injected into the penis, can help break down scar tissue and improve the curve. Traction devices, like vacuum erection devices or penile traction devices, can also help straighten the penis over time by gently stretching it.

I've been having trouble maintaining a strong erection during sex, and it's really affecting my ability to perform properly when the moment comes. Could you offer some advice or suggestions on what might be causing this and how I can improve my situation?

A healthcare provider can help diagnose underlying causes and recommend treatments such as medications, lifestyle changes, or therapy. Lifestyle changes: Focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, reducing alcoholsmoking, and getting enough sleep. Stress management: Practice relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing, and consider therapy if anxiety or depression is involved. Pelvic exercises: Try Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improve erections. Open communication with your partner: Discussing concerns with your partner can reduce anxiety and improve intimacy. If symptoms persist, seek professional help to find the right treatment. Erectile dysfunction is common and treatable with the right approach.

Why is the head of my penis so dry? I'm having trouble pulling the back skin upwards after rolling it down, though that part is easy. Plus, the ring of my penis is turning more red and patchy. What's going on with that?

Use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected area for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps or perfumed products, can help with healing. If symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
