I'm dealing with this intense burning sensation in my penis all day long, especially when it's erect. It feels like the nerves are stretching too much, which makes the pain unbearable. It's gotten to the point where I can't even sit on a bike. I found out I have trichomonas from a urine test and have been on treatment for 13 days, but I'm not seeing much progress. This has been going on for about five months now, and I'm getting pretty frustrated. I'm wondering if this infection can actually last that long and how much longer it might take to see some improvement. I've done all kinds of tests like MRI, color Doppler, and still, after all this time, the trichomonas was found in my urine test. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?

I'm sorry to hear about your discomfort. Trichomonas infection can sometimes cause persistent symptoms, and it may take longer to fully clear up depending on the severity. Since you've been under treatment for 13 days without significant improvement, I recommend revisiting your doctor to reassess your treatment plan or check for any other underlying issues. Its important to ensure you're receiving the correct medication and follow-up care.

I'm really worried about something and could use some advice. If my penis only goes about 2 inches inside the vagina, is that enough to cause pregnancy? I also have issues with penis erection and premature ejaculation, and it's causing me a lot of stress. What should I do?

A penetration of at least 4-6 inches is generally considered sufficient for sperm to reach the cervix. I have some sexual problems with penis erection and premature ejaculation. For erectile dysfunction, you can try using Viagra (Sildenafil). For premature ejaculation, you can try using Priligy (Dapoxetine). Make sure to consult a specialist before starting any new medication.
