When a guy has a problem with his penis he usually ignores it for as long as possible. It may be a stereotype but, let’s face it, guys like handling things on their own – it’s human nature. But the fact is, a problem downstairs isn’t the kind of thing you want to leave to chance. That doesn’t mean you have to run off to the doctor every time there’s the slightest problem, 
but knowing what you’re dealing with and your best options in Do It Yourself care can help prevent a minor issue from becoming a major problem.
- Early Ejaculation
The first issue is also the most common. Truth be told, early ejaculation is estimated to affect literally every man in the world at one point or another. It’s just one of those things you have to put up with if you’re a guy – a bit like shaving every day and dealing with perfect the perfect handshake. Still, too many guys ignore episodes of early ejaculation and write them off as no big deal until it becomes a chronic issue. Instead, look at a sporadic episode of early ejaculation as your body’s way of saying something’s out of whack. Address your stress levels, diet and physical fitness as these are the most common sources of the condition. If positive changes in these areas don’t make a dent in the problem, it’s time to see a doctor.
- Delayed Orgasm
This is a problem plenty of guys would happily develop – or so they think. Being able to have sex for hours without achieving an orgasm may sound like the Holy Grain of stamina but, for men with the condition, it’s a nightmare. Men with delayed ejaculation may last long, but they can’t get pleasure out of it. Again, an occasional case of this doesn’t have to spell disaster, but problems with ejaculation point to some underlying problem but it shouldn’t be ignored. This condition is less common but is often associated with men who masturbate often or in a way which isn’t easy to replicate with a partner. Modify your self-love habits or engage in mutual masturbation a a part of your sexual activity with your partner.
- Peyrione’s Disease
Peyrione’s Disease isn’t something you can catch and, in fact, it’s a condition many men have without ever knowing there was a name for it. Simply put, the condition is diagnosed in men who have a marked curve in their penis. Sometimes this is a simple curve in the shaft of the penis and other times it’s the change in texture and shape due to scar tissue build up beneath the skin. Either way, it can range from no big deal to extremely painful. This condition should be seen by a doctor even if it doesn’t bother you – there are options to straighten a minor curve and medical intervention can help deal with issues caused by scar tissue.
- Balanitis
Balanitis is an umbrella term which refers to any kind of marked swelling or inflammation of the penis. This change in shape could be caused by an undiagnosed or under-treated STD or it could be the result of a yeast infection, skin irritant and even poor hygiene. Treatments vary depending on the cause and the sooner you have it seen, the easier the treatment is likely to be.
- A Poorly Thought Out Piercing
Body piercing is popular and men are getting piercings in their penis more and more often. Few, however, stop to think about potential issues with the piercing and the way their penis work. Penis piercings are safe and if you want one you absolutely should find the best place you can. But also keep in mind that a Prince Albert is likely to cause a urethral fistula which can cause you to urinate out of the hole in your piercing. A quick procedure can sort it out.
