I'm a bit worried because my penis bends to the left when it's fully erect. It kinda seems like it affects its length. I'm not really keen on surgery, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to straighten it out.

A bent penis, also known as Peyronie's disease, can be addressed through non-surgical methods, including oral medications like vitamin E, potassium para-aminobenzoate (Potaba), and pentoxifylline; topical creams containing verapamil or interferon; and physical therapy techniques like penile traction therapy (PTT) using devices like the Penimaster or Vacu Devices, which can help straighten the penis and potentially improve length appearance, but consult a urologist or healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Niftas 100 mg tablets for her urinary tract infection, and even though she doesn't have any pain in her abdomen, the pain still hasn't gone away after finishing the medicine. Her doctor told her to k...

Niftas 100 mg tablet contains Nitrofurantoin, an antibiotic used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). _Fever as a Side Effect_ Fever is not a common side effect of Nitrofurantoin. However, it can occur in rare cases. If your mom experiences severe fever, it's essential to consult her doctor to rule out any other underlying conditions. _UTI Treatment and Prevention_ 1. _Complete the antibiotic course_: Ensure your mom completes the 2-month antibiotic course as prescribed by her doctor. 2. _Drink plenty of water_: Continue drinking 3 liters of water daily to help flush out bacteria. 3. _Urinate when needed_: Encourage your mom to urinate when she feels the need, rather than holding it in. 4. _Wipe correctly_: Teach your mom to wipe from front to back to prevent bacteria from entering the urethra. 5. _Avoid irritants_: Avoid using scented soaps, bubble baths, or douches, as they can irritate the urethra. 6. _Consider a urine culture test_: If UTI symptoms persist, consider a urine culture test to identify the underlying cause and adjust treatment accordingly. _Alternative Solutions_ 1. _Cranberry juice or supplements_: Cranberry products may help prevent UTIs by preventing bacterial adhesion. 2. _Probiotics_: Probiotics can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which can aid in preventing UTIs. 3. _Heat or cold therapy_: Applying heat or cold packs to the lower abdomen may help alleviate discomfort.
