Maintain strict personal habits to keep your manhood in tip top shape - Mayo Clinic

Penis health is an important part of men's health — and it goes beyond your ability to get and keep an erection, ejaculate and reproduce. Penis problems can indicate an underlying health condition. In addition, ongoing health issues affecting your penis can impact other areas of your life, causing stress or relationship problems and harming your self-confidence. Know the signs and symptoms of penis problems and what you can do to protect your penis health.

Common penis problems affecting men (and boys):

1. Erection and ejaculation problems
2. Sexually transmitted infections
3. Problems with foreskin
4. Yeast infection
5. Peyronie's disease (bent penis)
6. Cancer

Steps to a healthier penis

* Be sexually responsible. Use a condom.
* Get vaccinated. If you're age 26 or younger, consider the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
* Stay physically active.
