Question 1

I'm dealing with herpes, and my doctor confirmed it's affecting my penis. A couple of months ago, I had Bell's palsy. I'm worriedcan herpes come back, and which type might this be? Can anyone provide some guidance?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're dealing with a couple of challenging conditions. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause outbreaks in various areas, including the genital region. As for Bell's palsy, while it's typically a one-time occurrence, some people may experience it again, but the risk is low. I recommend following your doctor's guidance on managing both conditions and staying informed about any recurrence signs.

Question 2

I'm a bit concerned about using steroid cream for treating phimosis. What kind of side effects should I be aware of? Do you think it's a better option to just go for the operation instead?

Accepted Answer

-Steroid creams for phimosis can sometimes cause skin thinning or irritation if used long-term. If the condition doesn't improve, circumcision or preputioplasty is a more definitive solution. Consult a urologist to choose the best option for you.

Accepted Answer

Visit a Urologist first to evaluate the testicular pain. The urologist may perform physical exams, ultrasounds, or other tests to identify any underlying conditions in the reproductive system.
If the urologist rules out any urological causes and suspects the issue may be muscular or nerve-related, you can then visit an orthopedic specialist for further evaluation of the thigh pain.
