Below the Belt with Dr. Christopher Love shares how your penis changes, including Peyronie's disease or penile curvature, urinary problems, and erectile dysfunction (ED) -- and in many cases for ED the self-diagnosis is often clear. Are your erections not strong enough, don't last long enough, or you can't have sex the way you used to? You likely have erectile dysfunction. Peyronie's disease can cause a curve in the penis, which can be difficult for many men to deal with. Urinary problems are often related to the prostate and can cause slow flow and the need to urinate more frequently. While these issues can intermingle, we'll focus on erectile dysfunction. It's important to note that premature ejaculation can also cause confusion for some men who may mistake it for erectile dysfunction. It's essential to talk to a doctor who can educate you on what is normal and what isn't.

One thing that can cause unreasonable expectations in younger men is watching pornography. It can reset the sensitivity of your brain to sexual stimulation, affecting your ability to have sex. This area is being studied by psychologists, and there's a lot of work being done on it.

If you're experiencing erectile dysfunction or any other issues related to your penis, don't be embarrassed. Talk to your doctor to get the help you need to have a better conversation with your healthcare professional and treat whatever is bothering you below the belt.
