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

View allI'm dealing with this stubborn fungal-like infection on my buttocks for a couple of months now. I've been using an ointment to try and get rid of it, but it's just not going away. It hasn't spread, which is a relief, but it's still there like it just won't budge. What could be the reason it's not healing? Is there something else I should be doing or using to finally get rid of it?
Persistent fungal-like infection in the buttocks can be frustrating. _Possible Causes:_ 1. _Candidiasis_: Fungal infection caused by Candida. 2. _Dermatophytosis_: Fungal infection caused by dermatophytes. 3. _Intertrigo_: Skin fold dermatitis, often caused by fungal or bacterial infections. _Next Steps:_ 1. _Consult a dermatologist_: Get a professional diagnosis and guidance. 2. _Re-evaluate the ointment_: Ensure the ointment is suitable for the specific fungal infection. 3. _Consider oral antifungals_: If the infection is severe or persistent, oral medication may be necessary. _Additional Measures:_ 1. _Keep the area clean and dry_: Wash with soap and water, and dry thoroughly. 2. _Avoid tight clothing_: Reduce friction and moisture accumulation. 3. _Use an antifungal powder_: Apply a powder containing ingredients like clotrimazole or miconazole to help control the infection.

I've never been a smoker, but my lips are really dark, and I'm desperate to lighten them. I've tried a bunch of home remedies like lemon, honey, and beetroot, but nothing seems to work. What else can I do to help get rid of this?
Darkening of lips could be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, dehydration, Sun exposure. Identify the cause and address it. Use a lip balm with spf 15 or higher to protect them.Ensure you drink plenty of water daily. use a gentle scrub to exfoliate dead skin 2-3 times a week. use moisturising and hydrating lip balms.
