4: Just below the head of my penis, underneath the foreskin, I've always had small white swellings – more like little hard pimples, even when I was just a kid. Lately I've noticed there are more. They don't hurt or cause any discomfort other than their appearance, but I would like to get rid of them. Is this common? Can they be treated?

Answer:  These are almost certainly the small, white 'sebaceous spots' which vast numbers of young guys have, and which are totally normal. They're also known as 'milia' or 'Fordyce spots'. I've never known anyone have them removed, and it'd be very difficult to do so. I've never known anyone have them removed, and it'd be very difficult to do so. However, just in case I'm mistaken about the nature of your white spots, you should get them briefly inspected by someone who is used to looking at male organs all day long.

5: My husband has a curve in his penis, and it makes it difficult for us to have sex comfortably. What should we do?

Answer: Rather than looking for a short-term fix, you should seek out the root of his problem. He should ask our sexologist  doctor  for a proper treatment. In the meantime, it's best to stop doing positions that bring you discomfort, and use lots of lubrication to help. He may want to try penetrating you from behind very gently so that he's in control and can angle his penis in a way that won't be painful to either of you.

Best wishes

Hello Dr  Prabhu

6: Before we got married, I noticed that my husband started to put on some weight. He says he can't stand the way his body looks and that it's just too much work for him to get aroused. Do you have any suggestions?

Answer: Your husband has ended up in a vicious cycle: The less desirable he feels, the more likely he is to "comfort" eat to feel better, which is causing him to put on extra weight and feel less desirable. The good news is that this cycle can be broken. Start with going for walks

-- then take up an active hobby together, like dancing, swimming, tennis, sailing...you get the picture. After you've got some activity built into your regular schedule, tackle your cupboards! Stop buying fatty or sugary items, and make sure your fridge and cupboards are stocked with healthy foods instead. Next, boost his body image. Ask him to turn to you for a quick pep talk when he feels down -- just a phone call or email. He'll learn to talk rather than

feed his emotions. As for your sex life, keep talking. Be supportive and say you'd be happy

with foreplay rather than full penetrative sex. A happy sexual relationship is when you understand each other's needs and are prepared to give and take. Once he's a bit more active, eating better, and talking more, his sex drive may spike. But if he's still depressed, he may need further treatment through his doctor.
