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.

My foreskin covers the glans a bit and I can't fully retract it when I'm erect. Is this something that might need surgery or can it be managed another way?

If your foreskin only covers the glans slightly and you can't retract it fully, it might not need surgery. You could try gentle stretching exercises, or a urologist may recommend steroid creams. Surgery (circumcision) is a last resort if the condition causes pain or recurrent infections.

I'm worried about my husband. He masturbates about once a week, but the next day he feels completely wiped out. He's dealing with depression, body aches, and headaches, and just has no energy to do anything. Is this something to be concerned about, and how can we deal with it? Interestingly, he feels fine after intercourse. What could be causing this, and what can we do to sort it out?

It is not uncommon for some individuals to experience physical and emotional symptoms after masturbation, especially if it is accompanied by feelings of guilt or shame. To help alleviate these symptoms, your husband can try taking a pain reliever such as acetaminophen for body pains and headache. Additionally, he can consider taking a supplement like vitamin B complex to help with energy levels and mood. For a more permanent solution, it may be helpful for your husband to explore the underlying reasons for his feelings of exhaustion and depression. Engaging in regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and managing stress can also contribute to overall well-being. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it is important for him to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
