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'm dealing with a fungal infection on my penis and was told to take Zocon 400, two tablets total, with the second one supposed to be taken on the 7th day. I kind of messed up and ended up taking the second pill on the 9th day instead. Is that going to be a problem?

Yes its ok ,have a follow up with your doctor and maintain Personal Hygiene

I'm a bit concerned because my testicles hang very low. Is this something normal, or should I be worried about a potential problem? Have you encountered this issue before, and if its nothing to worry about, could you give me some guidance?

It's normal for testicles to hang at varying lengths due to factors like temperature, age, and individual anatomy. However, if you notice pain, discomfort, or other changes, its worth consulting a doctor for a proper evaluation. If everything else feels normal, this may just be your body's natural variation.

I've been having some stomach pain for the past few days, and at first, I thought it was just from heat or something, so I ignored it. But then, I noticed a small red worm in my urine the next morning, which really scared me. This morning, it happened again. I'm super worried now. Could this be dangerous to my health? And I'm really concerned about whether it might affect my fertility. Can you please give me some advice?

no need to worry follow your doctors advice
