I'm dealing with a condition called balanitis, and it's been going on for quite a while now. Could you suggest any creams or tablets that might help?

Hi there i understand your concern regarding your genital health...The main cause of balanitis is poor hygiene. Poor hygiene causes harmful bacteria to overpopulate the area, which can lead to infection...it can be fungal as well... Clinical examination is necessary to diagnose it and to rule out other possible conditions....you may require antibiotic or antifungal creams..Before applying any treatment option, it is important to avoid using irritants such as perfumed soap, lotion, or powder. This prevents further irritation of the foreskin...Consult nearest dermatologist they will do the needful.

View allI've been having trouble since last week with my penis not getting hard enough during sex. I can still enter it into the vagina, but I end up discharging very quickly. I've been married for two years, and this issue just started nowit didn't happen for the first 20 months. I've been taking Scelepra 10 mg daily, as my psychiatrist suggested, because I had a similar problem right after getting married. I'm wondering if this is a physical or psychological issue, and should I consider doing any tests or changing medications?

I'm really worried because my doctor told me to take Ivermectol 12 mg every 4 days for my hydrocele, but I haven't seen any results yet. Should I be concerned that it's not working, or might there be something else I should try?
Ivermectol 12mg is typically used to treat parasitic infections, not hydrocele. _Hydrocele Treatment_ 1. _Needle aspiration_: A procedure where a needle is inserted to drain the fluid. 2. _Surgery (hydrocelectomy)_: A surgical procedure to remove the hydrocele sac. _Ivermectol for Hydrocele_ Using Ivermectol for hydrocele treatment is unconventional and may not be effective. Ivermectol is an antiparasitic medication, and hydrocele is a condition characterized by fluid accumulation in the scrotum. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult a urologist_: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to discuss alternative treatment options. 2. _Re-evaluate treatment_: Consider needle aspiration or surgery, which are more effective treatments for hydrocele. 3. _Stop Ivermectol_: Discontinue taking Ivermectol, as it may not be addressing the underlying condition.

How can I permanently retract my foreskin without surgery because I find it unhygienic and prefer it to stay open? Are there safe non-surgical methods to keep the foreskin pulled back?
Foreskin retraction permanently can be aided by stretching exercises and steroid application daily;circumcision only needed if it fails after diligent therapy.
