Question 1

I'm having some trouble with my foreskin. It doesn't roll back as much as it's supposed to, and when I try to pull it down more, it starts to hurt. I'm really hoping to find a solution that doesn't involve surgery. Do you have any advice on what I might be able to do to fix this? It's really starting to affect my life, and I'd appreciate any guidance you can offer.

Accepted Answer

You likely have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract; to resolve this without surgery, your doctor may recommend gentle manual stretching exercises, topical steroid creams like betamethasone to reduce inflammation, or preputioplasty devices that help gradually stretch the foreskin; it's essential to consult a urologist

Question 2

I've been experiencing some tender pain at the top of my left testicle, and sometimes it even seems like the shape of it isn't quite round. Walking or touching that area makes the pain worse. I'm not sure if I should see a gynecologist or if a genera...

Accepted Answer

You should consult a urologist, not a gynecologist, as they specialize in male reproductive health; a general physician can provide an initial evaluation, but a urologist is better equipped to diagnose and treat potential issues like epididymitis, orchitis, testicular torsion, or varicocele; schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and undergo a physical examination to determine the cause of the pain and abnormal testicular shape.

Question 3

I'm worried I might have been exposed to herpes. Can you tell me when it's the right time to take the herpes IgG and IgM tests after a possible infection? Also, is it true that herpes can spread from the genital area to the oral area?

Accepted Answer

You can take the herpes IgG and IgM test about **24 weeks after suspected exposure** for accurate results, as it takes time for antibodies to develop. Yes, herpes can spread from the genital area to the oral area through direct contact, especially during active outbreaks.

Question 4

I'm really curious about something and a bit worried. Does precum actually contain sperm, or does urination completely clear any leftover sperm from the urethra? I've heard different things and just want to understand better because it's kind of conf...

Accepted Answer

Excessive vomiting during pregnancy can be concerning.

Consider the following:

- Consult your doctor about prescription anti-emetics like Zofran or Metoclopramide.
- Try ginger-based products like ginger tea, ginger ale, or ginger candies.
- Eat small, frequent meals to avoid overwhelming your stomach.
- Avoid spicy or fatty foods that can trigger vomiting.
- Rest and stay hydrated by sipping water or electrolyte-rich drinks.

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

- Severe dehydration
- Blood in vomit
- Fever above 101.5F (38.6C)

Question 5

I'm a bit concerned about how often I should be masturbating. Are there any health effects from doing it? Like, is there a recommended number of times a week or month that's considered healthy? I just want to make sure I'm not overdoing it.

Accepted Answer

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, with no serious physical or mental health effects when done in moderation; a healthy frequency can vary, but general guidelines suggest 2-3 times a week is normal, while excessive masturbation (more than 1-2 times a day) can lead to issues like fatigue, guilt, or decreased sexual sensitivity.

Question 6

I'm having some white discharge from my penis every morning and I'm really worried. There's no pain, but I'm not sure what's going on. Can you suggest any medication to help with this?

Accepted Answer

The elevated ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) levels indicate inflammation in the body.

Joint pains, leg pains, and finger pains suggest an inflammatory condition, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) or Osteoarthritis (OA).

Normal sugar test results rule out diabetes as a cause for the symptoms.

Consult a Rheumatologist for further evaluation and diagnosis.

They may recommend additional tests, such as CRP, RF, and ANA, to determine the underlying cause.

Treatment will depend on the diagnosis, but may include anti-inflammatory medications, pain management, and lifestyle modifications.
