I'm dealing with a problem where the foreskin on my penis is really tight, and I can't pull it back at all. I can't see the inside of my penis, and it seems like others my age can do this easily. I've heard that having a tight foreskin can cause pain and maybe even bleeding during sex. I'm not sure what I should do about it, could you help me out with some advice?

To address this issue, you can try using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% cream. Apply a small amount of the cream to the tight part of the foreskin twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. This can help to reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. In severe cases where conservative measures do not work, a circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare professional. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I'm a 64-year-old guy, and I've had this high fever since yesterday. I'm also dealing with frequent Urination every couple of hours, but it feels like I have to go more than what actually comes out. My doctor suggested Citralka and Dolo, but I'm wondering if there's any other medication I should be taking? Could this frequent urination be a sign of something more serious?

CT value of 32 in your husband's RT-PCR test result indicates that the test detected a relatively low amount of viral RNA. This suggests that the infection is likely mild, and he may be less contagious . However, it's essential to note that CT values aren't always a perfect indicator of infectivity or symptom severity. Some studies have shown that people with high CT values (above 30) can still be infectious, although the likelihood decreases . Given your husband's mild symptoms, such as a cough and sore throat, and a high oxygen saturation level (SpO2 of 99), it's likely that he's experiencing a mild case of COVID-19.

Sure, I've been feeling a bit concerned about my sex life recently. You see, I've been taking Lithium and Thyroid medication for years, and I'm wondering if my issues with ED and the anxiety that comes with it are linked to the meds or maybe something like low testosterone levels? I have bipolar disorder, and I'm generally quite active sexually, even though work and having a young child have put sex lower on the list. Both my spouse and I miss the frequency and intensity we used to have when we first got married, and it's becoming a point of tension. Any advice on how to improve things?
