Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have been masturbating since my teenage and a few times when I tried having sex with my girlfriend, I realized that I was never able to achieve proper hardness. My height is almost 5 feet and 6 inches, and the size of my penis is 3 inches (exactly equal to the size of a debit card). I also observe that I do not have the top triangular part that is commonly present in the pictures of the erect penis that I saw on the internet. I have been on a TB (neck) medication for the past three months but there seems to be no effect because of this. Should I be worried about this as I have been having issues with sex? Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I am here to extend a helping hand to you.
Masturbation is a safe habit, and this does not cause any effects on physical or mental health or on reproduction. This will not lead to loss of power or erection. If you are not getting proper hardness, then that is probably due to anxiety and psychological reasons. If the erection is normal, then the size of the penis in a flaccid state is not a matter of concern. The size of a 3-inch penis in erected state is small and should be evaluated by a surgeon. Kindly visit a surgeon for evaluation. You can also upload a picture so that I can evaluate it.
I hope you got answers to all the queries that you had. Do get back if you have any further queries.
Thank you.
