I'm curious about oral activities and I'm wondering if it's safe. Can you catch any diseases from doing it? If there are risks, how can someone do it safely? If not, is it okay to keep doing it?

Oral-genital contact can carry the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as herpes, gonorrhea, or HPV. It's important to practice good hygiene, use protection like dental dams, and ensure both partners are free of infections for safety. If you're unsure, it's best to discuss this with a healthcare provider.

#NAME?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm a 21-year-old male and I've been having recurring UTIs. I had one back in January, where my abdomen scan was normal but the urine culture showed E. coli. My doctor prescribed Nitrofurantoin for 14 days along with Citralka and Meftalspas. Then in May, I got another UTI. Again, my abdomen scan was normal but E. coli showed up in the culture. This time, I was given 14 Amikacin 500 injections for a week plus Citralka. I felt fine for about 15 days, but now I'm experiencing a burning sensation when I pee. I'm really concerned and don't know what to do next. Can you help?

Consult with a urologist for a thorough evaluation. Get a urine culture with antibiotic sensitivity testing. Follow a personalized treatment plan, potentially involving a different antibiotic or longer treatment. Make necessary lifestyle changes and practice preventive measures to avoid further infections.
