My penis is quite small only 1.5 inches when soft and 3 inches when erect. I'm 26 and worried it's not the normal size, which I think should be around 5 inches. Are there any treatments or surgeries that can help increase the size? I've heard about equipment that might help, but I'm not sure if it works. What would you recommend?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I'm really concerned because the skin on my penis doesn't retract at all when I'm erect. I'm not quite sure if I'm dealing with a tight skin issue, but it's been worrying me. What could happen if I decide not to get any treatment for this?

I'm 19 and I've recently stopped watching porn and masturbating. However, since then, I've been experiencing nightfall almost every day. Is there a way to address this issue or something I'm missing? I'm really looking for some advice here.

It's normal to experience nightfall (nocturnal emissions) during adolescence, especially after changes in sexual habits. It usually resolves on its own over time. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular sleep, stress management, and avoiding overstimulation can help reduce frequency. If it continues or concerns you, a visit to a doctor might provide further reassurance.

I've been dealing with frequent urination for the past two weeks and it's really getting to me. I've already tried antibiotics like Niftas and Flavospas, but they haven't helped at all. I seem to keep getting these UTIs over and over, and it's so frustrating. What else could be going on and what should I do next?

you need to get urine rm and culture, blood culture and proceed accordingly
