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 28 and about to get married but I have a foreskin that doesn't retract. There's no infection, but my friends suggested sunthi surgery. I'm scared about the procedure can this be fixed with medicines instead? If I need surgery, where should I go and how much does it usually cost? Also how many days will recovery take
Circumcision is a very safe procedure. Certain ointments have been tried but in my experience I can tell you that they don't actually work. So better to go for circumcision. It just requires a maximum of 1 day hospitalisation. Cost would differ from hospital to hospital.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been dealing with a urinary infection and her alkaline phosphatase levels are at 250. I'm not sure what treatment options would be best for her. Could you help us figure this out?
Persistent Cough with Blood-Streaked Sputum and Dizziness _Concerns and Recommendations_ 1. _Incomplete treatment_: Azithral (azithromycin) for 5 days might not have fully cleared the infection. 2. _Blood-streaked sputum_: This symptom warrants further investigation to rule out underlying conditions, such as: - Pneumonia - Bronchitis - Pulmonary embolism (less likely, but possible) - Tuberculosis (TB) 3. _Dizziness_: This could be related to the underlying infection, smoking, or other factors. 4. _Smoking_: Your frequent smoking habit may be exacerbating the condition.

I'm having some trouble with my foreskin when my penis is erect. The head is fully visible, but the foreskin seems a bit attached to the backside of the head and won't fully retract down the shaft. It's making me a little concerned. What should I do about this?
