For the past few months, I've been dealing with a burning sensation when I pee and having to push hard to empty my bladder. The flow is slow, not smooth, and sometimes splits into multiple streams. My doctor thinks it's likely a stricture and suggested surgery. Are there other treatment options? Also, I've noticed a sudden drop in libido and weaker erections could this be connected?

A urethral stricture can cause these symptoms; options like dilation or endoscopic urethrotomy may be tried before surgery.

I'm 24 and I've been masturbating a lot, almost like it's become a habit I can't break. Lately, I've been feeling really low and weak because of it. I've noticed that the nerves on my penis are super visible, and I constantly feel sensations there, even when I'm just sitting around doing nothing. It's kind of embarrassing to say, but I've been needing to urinate like 23 times within a span of just 4 hours, which is really affecting my daily life. This whole situation is really distracting me.

I'm a virgin and my penis is 4 inches long, and it's not circumcised. I'm kinda worried about whether that's enough to satisfy a partner. Also, I don't really shave or trim my pubic hair. Is shaving or trimming something that's necessary? Would love some advice.

The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches. There's more variation in the size of flaccid penises. Some guys are genuinely smaller than that. In rare cases, genetics and hormone problems cause a condition called micropenis -- an erect penis of under 3 inches. Sometimes Peyronie's disease can reduce a guy's size. Losing weight will reveal more of that hidden shaft that's buried beneath belly fat. It doesn't actually increase your size, but it will look that way...
