Question 1

I'm really concerned about this swelling in my meatus. It's a dark blue color with some red dots. I've been seeing a surgeon for a while, and initially, they prescribed ciprofloxacin and some fungal medicine, but nothing has changed. I even tried more antibiotics, but it's been two weeks and still no improvement. My urine routine, culture, and ultrasound results all came back normal. What could be going on?

Accepted Answer

Reliable HIV testing after 6 years.

The 4th generation CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) antigen and antibody test is highly accurate.

Interpretation:

1. _Non-reactive result_: Indicates no detectable HIV antibodies or p24 antigens.
2. _6-year window period_: Well beyond the recommended 3-6 month window for HIV testing after exposure.

Nasal steroids:

1. _Unlikely to cause false negatives_: Steroids are not known to interfere with HIV tests.

You can be reasonably confident in your HIV-negative status. However, consider:

1. _Other STIs_: Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if you haven't already.
2. _Future risks_: Continue practicing safe sex and get regular HIV tests if you're sexually active.

Consult your doctor or an HIV specialist for personalized guidance and confirmation.

I'm 22, and I've noticed that while my penis foreskin retracts normally, it doesn't pull back when I'm erect. The tip stays covered, and I'm not sure what this means or what I should do next. Could you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

When the foreskin of the penis can't be pulled back over the head of the penis, it's called phimosis.consult general surgeon

For premature ejaculation, you can try using lidocaine spray such as Promescent. Apply 10-15 minutes before intercourse. Additionally, practicing techniques like the start-stop method or the squeeze technique can help improve control. Regular exercise and relaxation techniques may also be beneficial.

Accepted Answer

Shortness of breath during urination can occasionally happen due to a vagal nerve response, anxiety, or even bladder issues. If it's infrequent and no other symptoms exist, it's usually harmless. However, consult a urologist or general physician to rule out underlying causes like prostate or cardiovascular concerns.
