Bent Penis: When do you need a treatment?

Men’s Health Blogs Bent penis: When do you need a treatment? Unraveling the Mysteries of the Bent Penis Hey guys, welcome to Dr. Shah’s Clinic! In this snappy video & post, we’re diving into what’s commonly known as the bent penis. It’s a twisty tale, but don’t worry, we’ll straighten things out! Bent penises can mess with your head Understanding Penile Angle Deviation: When to Stay Calm If you’ve ever gazed downwards and noticed your little buddy leaning a bit to the right or left, don’t hit the panic button yet. A slight deviation in the range of about 5 to 20 degrees is pretty normal. Yes, it’s true (you heard that right) – not every penis can be a bloody straight arrow! In fact, in a large proportion of men, maybe even 60 to 70 percent, some degree of penile curvature is to be expected.

Book a Call Book a Call Curvature: The Bendy Norm in Men’s World Did you know that penile curvature is as common as finding a left-handed person in a crowd? In the grand spectrum of penises across the world, many lean left, right, up, or down, making each one uniquely different. This diversity is like having different types of cars; they all get you to your destination, just with a bit of individual flair. Moreover, this curvature doesn’t signal any health issue. As a practicing sexologist doctor in chennai this is a very common problem I see (day in and day out) It’s like having a preference for a different variety of tea – different, but totally normal. Tea is still tea. When Straight Isn’t the Only Way Interestingly, penile curvature can sometimes be advantageous. For some partners, a slight curve might even enhance pleasure, navigating the intimate geography like a skilled explorer. Think of it as having a special edition of a classic model; it has its unique features that makes the ride a bit more intriguing. A typical example would be that of a penis bent ever so slightly upward. These penises definitely manage to hit the women’s G-Zone When to Worry: Spotting Signs of Peyronie’s Disease However, if your penis takes a sharp turn – we’re talking about a 40-degree detour or more – it’s time to consider a pit stop at the doctor’s (sexologists) office. A dramatic curve (>40 degree) might signal Peyronie’s disease, and that’s a road you want to navigate with professional guidance. Navigating the Sharp Curves of Peyronie’s Peyronie’s Disease is like hitting a pothole on the road of sexual health. It can cause significant bending, pain, and sometimes erectile dysfunction. Imagine your penis deciding to mimic the Leaning Tower of Pisa – impressive but not quite right. This condition arises from fibrous scar tissue formation in the organ. Furthermore, peyronies leads to curved penis of a severe degree. Subscribe to our Newsletter The ‘Oh No’ of Extreme Bent Penis Severe curvature can make sex challenging or even painful, like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Pain during sex is also common. Furthermore, you and your partner both may experience significant pain. Men with severe curvature also suffer from erectile dysfunction. Consequently, your sex life will become largely sexless. Seeking immediate help is the way forward. A Doppler to the Rescue: Navigating the Bend If you’re dealing with a substantial curve, a penile Doppler ultrasound is like your GPS – it helps to figure out what’s going on under the hood. This test can reveal if Peyronie’s disease is changing your course (for worse) The Magic Wand of Penile Health:  Analyzing a Bent Penis The penile Doppler ultrasound is like waving a magic wand over your manhood. It uses sound waves to create a picture of what’s happening inside. It’s a non-invasive way to peek under the bonnet without any screws loose. This test will show if your penis is just taking a casual stroll down Curvy Lane or if there’s a more serious issue of Peyronie’s disease at play. Conclusion: Steering Clear of the Curves So, if your penis is slightly askew, chances are you’re just part of the majority. But if it’s taking a hard left or right, consult your andrologist. Remember, when it comes to your health, it’s better to be safe than sorry – or, in this case, straighter rather than curvier!

The one big hurdle men face with such treatments is time. Most treatments aimed at increasing sperm quality require lots & lots of time. However, with fertility treatments, time is our biggest enemy. Late marriage, broken marriages & remarriages all seem to account for the increased social pressure faced by couples. Moreover, fertility treatments are definitely getting expensive year on year. A single IVF cycle can cost upwards of 3.5 lakh. Consequently, its important to stress that simple treatments to improve sperm count and sperm motility is need of the hour.

Masturbation after Marriage: Should you do it?

Men’s Health Blogs Masturbation after marriage: Should you masturbate? or NOT? Masturbation after marriage is fairly common in men. Watch the video below for an in depth understanding of masturbating post marriage. Hey guys, in this blog post lets quickly try to understand the various headaches on sticking on to masturbation post marriage. This is an important article, do ensure you READ IT till the END. Now, Why do men continue to masturbate post marriage? Firstly, masturbation is fairly common sexual outlet behavior. Most men begin masturbating early in their teens and continue doing it till late adulthood. Moreover, since the behavior is highly rewarding, men who masturbate have to deal with 2 aspects of the behavior. Number 1: Masturbation is highly addicting & rewarding. Number 2: It’s also self-reinforcing. To further simplify things, You must understand that we tend to get hooked onto porn at a young age. Slowly most of us young boys start exploring our own genitals. Consequently, we gently start stroking or rubbing the penis and taking out semen. Eventually we engage in masturbation and the habit re-enforces over time. Some of us then learn to masturbate by rubbing the penis on the bed or pillow at a young age. This is called Prone masturbation. In parallel, other forms of masturbation like rubbing the penis over balloons (called as balloon masturbation) may also develop. Some of us also practice rubbing the organ between the thighs or on other surfaces. Eventually we tend to engage in different forms of masturbation at a tender age, without even understanding what exactly we are doing! Masturbation after marriage: A Behavior & Habit Little by little, our little teenage brain gets conditioned to masturbation. The newly formed habit of masturbation eventually sticks on till late adulthood. We enjoy and associate reward with masturbation. Moreover, the pressure that the hand gives seems more rewarding than the loose/expanding vagina of a women. Most men at this stage will use masturbation to even go to sleep and also as stress relief tool! (the miracle of masturbating over a long time regularly) Consequently, even after marriage, we spend more intimate time with our hands. Things eventually degenerate in the relationship. Since men who are on the masturbation spree will enjoy being intimate with their hand versus their partners (Who needs a vagina?  right?)

Book a Call Book a Call Masturbation & the brain The human brain can get easily conditioned to the pleasure & pressure given by the hand. Eventually, the man who masturbates, will not & cannot find his stable partner attractive. No matter how beautiful she may be… Furthermore, most of us men would have been at some point in life exposed to Western-European erotica/porn. Subscribe to our Newsletter The human brain while watching porn gets fooled into believing that ‘you are actually being selected by the women you seen naked on screen’. It’s a bad joke. The worst of them all. As the human brain (thereby the individual) keeps gets getting the feeling of being sexually validated & rewarded by masturbation, the habit keeps building. Furthermore, the individual will notice a sharp decrease in interest towards his wife/stable partner. There are 2 reasons for that. Number 1: Your stable partners as compared to what you see on screen won’t have the same waist hip ratio or sleek bodies/physical traits. Number 2: The porn fantasy & rich variety is something your partner can never give. They just cant compete with the porn stars. Your sexual fantasies will be un-realistic. But nothing can be done, since you have fed your brain a large shit load of visual stimulus. How on earth are you going to undo it? especially masturbation after marriage? Masturbation after marriage resembles eating a buffet meal everyday vs a healthy stable meal. Now, imagine yourself eating buffet meals every day. Variety upon variety of exotic food. Its rich tastes and colors. Its beauty… Porn is just that! Sexual intercourse is a form of consumption behavior. It’s basically body consumption behavior quite similar to food. Now, if I eat buffet meals every other day (i.e I fundamentally pick which porn to jack off to everyday)… Why on earth should I settle for the same booooring women (I dont have a choice at all!) Why would I be motivated to pursue intimacy with her? When I can get all the sexual variety on my screen. You cannot tell that the brain is wrong in this matter. Its just the way we are programmed. Masturbation in the long run However, in the long run, a little common sense must prevail. Eating large buffet meals everyday will ruin your health. You will end up fat with diabetes and a host of multi-organ syndromes. Having a stable partner is akin to eating a simple meal will not cause harm one bit at all. So what do you want in the end?? Is it a stable loving long term relationship? Build with intimacy over a 20/30 year time frame? Or is it a hoard of women who have only their bodies to show and sell? Think over it hard for a minute. You will get the point. This is Dr Shah, consultant sexologist in chennai. I hope you enjoyed this blog post on masturbation after marriage. Watch this space for more interesting reads.

Delay Sprays for Premature Ejaculation – When to Use? & When NOT TO?

Men’s Health Blogs Delay Sprays for Premature Ejaculation – When to Use? & When NOT TO? Understanding Delay Sprays for Premature Ejaculation Treatment Delay sprays are a common treatment for premature ejaculation (PME). Typically, men with PME ejaculate within a minute, which can occur before penetration or even during foreplay. The Impact of Premature Ejaculation on Relationships In cases of premature ejaculation, partners often feel extremely dissatisfied with sexual intercourse, failing to achieve orgasm. This dissatisfaction can lead to misunderstandings and, in severe cases, to separation or divorce. Prevalence and Necessity of Treatment PME affects nearly 40% of the male population, making it a widespread issue that requires attention and treatment. Dr. Shah Dupesh Consultant Andrologist & Sexologist Ready to improve your Reproductive Health? Discuss your concerns in a private setting and get personalized guidance tailored to your needs. Book a Call Book a Call Limitations of Delay Sprays for premature ejaculation treatment Firstly, delay sprays don’t address the underlying cause of premature ejaculation. For instance, if a man’s premature ejaculation stems from sensitivity at the tip of the penis, the spray, containing anesthetic agents like lidocaine and prilocaine, only reduces this sensitivity temporarily. You must apply it 45 minutes before intercourse, and it only delays ejaculation for that session. As a result, you might find yourself using these sprays for years without resolving the fundamental issue. Long-term Use and Its Drawbacks Furthermore, long-term use of delay sprays doesn’t correct the cerebrally mediated latency time for ejaculation. Additionally, these sprays can affect erectile function, as reduced sensitivity in the penis can lead to decreased erection quality. Potential Transfer to Partners Another concern is the potential transfer of the anesthetic agent to the female partner, leading to vaginal numbness. This numbness can interfere with her arousal and sexual satisfaction. Subscribe to our Newsletter Appropriate Usage of Delay Sprays for premature ejaculation treatment Delay sprays might be suitable as a short-term solution, for instance, in casual sexual encounters where a temporary delay is desired. However, they don’t offer a long-term solution. Casual intercourse has Advocating for Medical Therapy The best approach is to pursue medical therapy for premature ejaculation. There are several medications available with minimal or no side effects that offer better long-term success. Eventually, you might be able to discontinue these medications. Conclusion: Seeking Long-term Solutions In conclusion, while delay sprays can be useful in certain scenarios, they don’t offer a permanent solution.
