Abdul: I can't tell you what the optimal treatment should be because the exact nature of your remaining problem is unclear. Talk to your physicians about possible solutions. Perhaps a visual urethrotomy
Aarti: Hypercalciuria (too much calcium in the urine) is another possibility besides infection. This type of problem is best handled by a pediatric urologist. These specialists are typically found
John: I'm not sure exactly what your problem is. If the penis is curved, its not because you stopped masturbating. It could be Peyronie's disease which is a condition where the erection bodies develop
Sometimes Edex doesn't work because the bottle wasn't shaken before use or it expired. Maximum dose for Edex would be 40 mcg. If that doesn't work, then we usually go to external vacuum devices or try
Carb: Maybe, maybe not. THis might be an effect of some medications or pelvic surgeries. It could also be something other than urine such as an infection. This would be a difficult problem to sort
