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.

View allMy dad has been dealing with frequent urination for a long time. The reports show no infection, but he still goes way too often even though he doesn't drink much water. He also struggles with controlling it because of the frequency. Is there a permanent fix for this? Could surgery help solve the problem?
However, frequent urination can also indicate an underlying problem. Some of these may include kidney or ureter problems, urinary bladder problems, diabetes, and prostate gland problems.

I'm having a tough time dealing with varicocele on my left side, and it's been going on for about 2 years now. At first, it was really uncomfortable with a burning feeling and heaviness, and it felt like there was a bag of worms there. The burning has eased up, but there's still some heaviness and pain, which is worrying me. On top of that, I'm struggling with some fertility issues. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
You are experiencing symptoms of varicocele, which is the swelling of the veins inside the scrotum. To help alleviate the heaviness and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. For fertility issues related to varicocele, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Clomiphene to help increase sperm production. Surgery may also be recommended in some cases to repair the varicocele and improve fertility. It is important to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I can retract my foreskin past the head by about an inch and a half, but I feel like the frenulum might be stopping it from going back any further. Does this mean I have a tight frenulum?
If you're able to retract your foreskin comfortably past the head but feel that the frenulum is stopping further retraction, it is likely that you have a tight frenulum. If it doesn't cause significant discomfort or other issues, it might not need medical intervention. However, if its causing discomfort or interfering with sexual activity, its a good idea to speak to a urologist who can suggest appropriate treatment options, such as stretching exercises or frenuloplasty.
