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.

I'm dealing with a urinary tract infection that's been going on for a month. It started with Klebsiella, and now it's E. coli. I've done 14 days of antibiotics for Klebsiella and 3 days for E. coli, but the symptoms are still there. My urine test and ultrasound came back normal. What could be going on, and what should I do next?

My dad got an ultrasound done because the doctors suspected a kidney infection since his urine flow was blocked at the prostate. His PSA level came back at 4.25 and they're recommending some kind of surgery called Out. Can you explain what PSA means and what the treatment options are for his condition?

I've been experiencing some tender pain at the top of my left testicle, and sometimes it even seems like the shape of it isn't quite round. Walking or touching that area makes the pain worse. I'm not sure if I should see a gynecologist or if a general physician would be the right person to talk to. What do you think I should do?

You should consult a urologist, not a gynecologist, as they specialize in male reproductive health; a general physician can provide an initial evaluation, but a urologist is better equipped to diagnose and treat potential issues like epididymitis, orchitis, testicular torsion, or varicocele; schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and undergo a physical examination to determine the cause of the pain and abnormal testicular shape.
