Q: I am 25 years old. I am suffering from an unusual problem from the past 6 months. When I wake up in the morning, I find my prepuce swollen, which becomes normal after half an hour of urination. I also have irritation in the prepuce and ejaculate prematurely during sex whenever my prepuce gets swollen. Is something seriously wrong with me?
A:Morning erections are common while waking up and go away as in your case. However, irritation and premature ejaculation should be evaluated by a urologist and advised accordingly. You should have your blood sugar checked and meet a urologist with the results. Premature ejaculation may have multifactorial aetiology but is a treatable problem.
