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.

To become a sperm donor, you'll need to meet specific requirements, including being 18-39 years old, having excellent physical and mental health, normal semen parameters, and a clean medical and genetic history, then find a reputable sperm bank or fertility clinic and undergo screening, testing, and evaluation.

Question 3

I'm worried about my sperm discharging too quickly and having a low sperm count. After releasing, I often feel really weak. Can you give me some advice on what might help with this?

Accepted Answer

it seems you have a side effects of excessive masturbation... Let me brief you..

Masturbation is a natural phenomenon. All men do this but as a natural principle excess of everything is always bad, so you must try to control it.

Don't do it more than once or twice in a month.

Don't worry you can do that... just do not watch porn Try not to be remain alone, don't read or view sexual literature, books, whatsApp & porn videos etc.

Avoid oily, more spicy, Chilly and junk foods.

Do exercise daily for one hr or yoga mainly Pranayam Meditation vajroli Mudra... Ashwini mudra. Start reading religious books.

Please note that now a days the main drawback and side effect of the masturbation is once you are addicted to masturbation mostly and always by watching porn where you get different type of stories... relations... girls body... and styles... etc.

Once u got married u don't get all those things with wife so u don't get aroused and you don't get proper erection.

Now a day's mostly patients comes to us with the complaint that they are not able to get erection with wife in the bed but they are getting erection in the bathroom while masturbation.

This is creating a lot of problem in their married life so my advice is to control it. If u are not able to do so then you must consult your family doctor, many times it's not possible to control without the help of your doctor.

You can take Chandra kala ras 1 tablet morning and night after food

Yastimadhu chuma 3gms morning and night with water

Question 4

I've noticed that my penis has been swollen for the past couple of days, and it's really itchy with the skin looking red on the inside. The head is also pretty swollen. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

This could be a sign of a fungal infection such as balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

Is it okay to use saliva as a lubricant during sex or masturbation? I'm just wondering if there are any health concerns or risks I should be aware of.

Accepted Answer

Using saliva as a lubricant during sex or masturbation is not recommended as it can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, herpes, and gonorrhea, and may also cause vaginal or anal irritation, yeast infections, or other infections; instead, opt for water-based or silicone-based lubricants
