I'm really into sex and usually have a great time, but I've noticed that after the first round, it takes me more than 5 hours to get an erection again. It's starting to worry me. Any advice on what might be going on or how I can improve this?

It's normal for recovery time after sex (the refractory period) to vary between individuals, and it may lengthen with age or fatigue. Staying hydrated, reducing stress, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help. If the issue persists, consult a doctor to rule out hormonal or circulation-related concerns.

I've got a cyst in my prostate that's filled with clear fluid, and it's about 7cc in volume. I'm wondering if there's a way for it to go away with medication or if the only option is to have it removed. I'm also having trouble emptying my bladder completely in one go, but thankfully there's no pain. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next?
A clear fluid cyst in the prostate may not always require treatment if it is not causing any symptoms. However, if you are experiencing difficulty emptying your bladder, it is important to address this issue. Medications such as alpha-blockers like Tamsulosin can help relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate. Additionally, antibiotics may be prescribed if there is an infection present. If the cyst is causing significant symptoms and does not improve with medication, surgical removal of the cyst may be considered. It is best to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

In men, circumcision is most commonly carried out when the foreskin is tight and won't pull back (retract), which is known as phimosis. But alternative treatments, such as topical steroids, are sometimes preferred.
