Many of the questions we receive are quite similar in theme and thus we will not be answering each and every one. We encourage you to look through the answers to the questions here as they may very well answer your question.
We have received many questions from men worried about something being physically wrong with their penis. Dr. Laurie is not a medical doctor nor a specialist such as a urologist.

Therefore, if you feel that there is something quite not right with your penis, or there is some change to it, then you should seek the guidance of a medical professional.
