I'm dealing with a bad smell coming from under my foreskin, and it's making me a bit worried. There's also some mild itching going on. I've tried washing it, but the smell just keeps coming back the next day. Could you please give me some advice on what might be happening and how to fix it?

It sounds like you may have a yeast infection or balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with some worries about my health that are really starting to stress me out. For the last five years, I've been having issues like semen leakage with urine and night falls, and I haven't tried any medicine for spermatorrhea so far. I'm also experiencing tiredness and a weird crackling sound when I sit down or stand up. It's starting to affect my day-to-day life, and I'm not sure what steps I should take next. Could you help me understand what might be going on and what I can do about it?

It sounds like you're dealing with spermatorrhea and fatigue, which can be caused by various factors like stress, lifestyle, or even underlying health issues. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to assess your symptoms properly and explore treatment options to address both the semen leakage and the fatigue you're experiencing.

Premature ejaculation can be caused by factors like stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, or relationship issues. To overcome it, focusing on relaxation techniques, communication with your partner, and possibly seeking professional advice for behavioral therapy or medication can help. Don't hesitate to consult a healthcare provider for a tailored plan.
