Im 18 and I've got a question that's been really bothering me. I often masturbate and once this thought hit me: if I accidentally swallow my own sperm, can that give me STDs like AIDS? I've never had sex before, so Im still a virgin. And what about someone who's sexually activeif they swallow their own sperm and have bleeding gums or something, could they get AIDS that way? This whole idea is kind of stressing me out.

It's understandable to feel concerned, but swallowing your own sperm does not transmit HIV or other STDs. HIV is primarily spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids during unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child. Bleeding gums or mouth sores can increase the risk of transmission in sexual situations, but this is not a concern with your scenario. If you're feeling distressed, it may help to talk to a healthcare provider for further support.

View allI'm really wondering about what to do next. I was using Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment USP 0.5 for phimosis for the last couple of months while I was in America. Now that I'm in India, I'm finding it hard to find the exact same thing. I've heard about Betnovate and Diprovate G as possible alternatives. Could one of these be a good replacement, or is there something else I should consider? I'm honestly a bit concerned about switching and just want to make sure I'm continuing with the right treatment.
For phimosis, you can consider Betnovate (Betamethasone) or Diprovate-G (Betamethasone with Gentamicin). Both are effective, but Diprovate-G may help if there's an infection component due to the presence of Gentamicin. However, I recommend consulting your doctor to ensure the right choice based on your specific condition.

I recently had an ultrasound that showed three kidney stones two in my right kidney around 5-6 mm and one in my left kidney's lower pole measuring 9 mm. Can these be treated naturally or would surgery be necessary? Also, is Himalaya CYSTONE effective for this? What foods should I avoid to prevent making it worse?
For kidney stones of this size (5-6mm and 9mm), a combination of natural approaches and medical intervention may be recommended. The 9mm stone is more likely to require medical intervention, while the 5-6mm stones have a higher chance of passing naturally

For the easiest access to surgery for testicular pain and infection in India, consider consulting a doctor in a major medical hub like Delhi or Mumbai. These cities have highly specialized urology and surgical departments with experienced doctors and state-of-the-art facilities.
