I recently had stents placed in both my ureters and they were there for a week after my RIRS procedure. After the stents were removed, I tried to masturbate after a couple of days because I felt the urge, but I ended up having this weird experience where it felt like sperm was coming out but nothing actually did; it was just dry. Should I be worried about this or is it something that can happen?

After stent removal, it's normal to experience temporary changes in ejaculation, and the "dry" sensation could be due to inflammation, scarring, or residual swelling, so consult your urologist to rule out any complications or blockages

I'm 25 and I've been noticing I'm losing hair around my forehead, and my hair is getting thinner every day. It used to be really thick all over my head. I'm pretty worried about this. Could you suggest what I can do to help with this problem?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing male pattern baldness. I recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of your scalp. Additionally, you can take Finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to help with hair regrowth. These medications can help slow down hair loss and promote hair growth. It is important to use them consistently for at least several months to see results.

I'm dealing with a persistent allergy to the parthenium plant, as indicated by my skin test report. Even though I've stayed away from these plants and there's none around my house, I'm still experiencing facial allergies. I've been using steroid creams and tablets, but the allergy keeps coming back once I stop them. Is there a tablet or an injection available that could help me manage this parthenium plant allergy more effectively? It's becoming quite frustrating.

I'm really confused about whether I have milia or molluscum. Some doctors tell me it's molluscum, but others say it's milia, and I can't really tell what it is. Could you help explain the difference and maybe give me some tips on identifying which one I might have?

Milia and molluscum are two distinct skin conditions that can be confusing to diagnose. Milia Milia, also known as milk spots or keratin cysts, are small, white or yellowish bumps on the skin. They occur when keratin, a protein, becomes trapped beneath the skin's surface. Characteristics of milia: - Small, usually 1-2 mm in diameter - White or yellowish in color - Firm to the touch - Typically found on the face, especially around the eyes, nose, and mouth - Can also occur on the arms, legs, and torso Molluscum Contagiosum Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV). It leads to the formation of small, flesh-colored or pink bumps on the skin. Characteristics of molluscum contagiosum: - Small, usually 2-5 mm in diameter - Flesh-colored or pink in color - Soft to the touch - Typically found on the face, neck, arms, and legs - Can be contagious through skin-to-skin contact or sharing personal items
