I have a concern regarding masturbation. I usually ejaculate within about 2 minutes, and only a small amount of semen is released. I also do not feel much sensation or pleasure during ejaculation. Additionally, my penis seems to reduce in size during masturbation. Are these changes normal, or should I be concerned?

Ejaculating within about 2 minutes during masturbation can be normal for some men, especially if they are anxious, excited, or masturbate quickly. The amount of semen released may vary depending on hydration, frequency of ejaculation, stress, and overall health. Reduced pleasure or sensation may sometimes occur due to tiredness, stress, anxiety, low mood, or frequent masturbation. It is also normal for the penis to change slightly in size or become softer during or after ejaculation because blood flow decreases once arousal reduces. However, if you regularly notice very low sensation, difficulty maintaining an erection, pain, severe stress, or major changes in sexual function, it is advisable to consult a doctor or urologist. The doctor may check for hormonal imbalance, nerve problems, anxiety, or other health issues. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, good sleep, and reducing stress may also help improve sexual health and confidence.
Hi, Dr. I have very little sex timing. Within a minute, the sperm are gone. How to improve the timing, Dr.

Ejaculating within a minute is common and can improve with simple steps like the start?stop or squeeze technique, using condoms to reduce sensitivity, and doing pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises to build control. Reducing anxiety, getting good sleep, and avoiding excessive stimulation can also help. If needed, doctors may prescribe medicines like Dapoxetine. If the problem continues, consult a doctor for proper guidance and reassurance.
Dr. Could you perhaps explain why my penis isn't that hard?

Difficulty getting a firm erection is usually due to factors like stress, anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, or medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or low testosterone. Lifestyle habits like smoking, alcohol use, and lack of exercise can also affect it. Improving sleep, reducing stress, regular exercise, and a healthy diet can help, and in some cases medicines like Tadalafil may be advised. If the problem is frequent or persistent, consult a doctor to find the exact cause and get proper treatment.
Dr., I have primary ejaculation and eraction disfunction.

Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction can occur together and are often linked to anxiety, stress, or underlying health issues like diabetes or poor blood flow. You can improve this with lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, good sleep, reducing stress, and avoiding smoking or alcohol. Techniques like start-stop exercises may help, and medicines like Dapoxetine or Tadalafil may be prescribed if needed. It?s best to consult a doctor to identify the exact cause and get proper treatment.
My penis is tilted more towards the left. Is this normal, and what should I do?
Vikas Singh

A mild tilt of the penis is quite common and usually normal if there is no pain or difficulty during erection or intercourse. It can be a natural variation and may not need any treatment. If the bend is severe, painful or causing problems, it could be due to a condition like Peyronie's disease. Do not ignore symptoms and consult a doctor if you notice worsening or discomfort.
