Balanitis can be treated with topical creams, such as clotrimazole or hydrocortisone, and practicing good hygiene, including gentle cleaning with warm water and avoiding harsh soaps; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor for further evaluation and guidance.

Question 2

My urine test report shows pus cells at 5-6 hpf, and my doctor said I have a UTI. Can you explain the treatment process for this and let me know if there are any risks involved?

Accepted Answer

For a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) diagnosis with 5-6 pus cells/hpf, your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics, such as Nitrofurantoin, Ciprofloxacin, or Amoxicillin, for 3-7 days to clear the infection; also, drink plenty of water, urinate when needed, and practice good hygiene; potential risk factors if left untreated include kidney damage, recurrent infections, and sepsis, so complete the full antibiotic course and follow up

Accepted Answer

you may be experiencing some trauma or injury to your penis during masturbation. The presence of blood in the urine and pain during erection could be indicative of a urethral injury or inflammation. Since you have already taken Leon-500, which contains Levofloxacin, an antibiotic, it is important to continue taking it as prescribed to prevent any infection. I recommend you also take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen to help reduce any inflammation and pain in the area. Additionally, you can apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area to prevent infection. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out your system and avoid any activities that may further irritate or injure the area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

Using a condom during masturbation is a safe practice and should not cause any problems in the future. If you are looking to enlarge your penis size, there are no medications or methods that have been scientifically proven to be effective. It is important to remember that penis size is determined by genetics and cannot be significantly altered. If you have concerns about your penis size, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider for further guidance.
