Question 1

I'm really worried after a recent experience. I had sex with a prostitute, the condom broke, and I don't know her STD status. About a week later, I noticed genital warts. I've been using Monolox antibiotics, Flonida cream, and Supirocin ointment daily. Even though Flonida is meant to be used twice a week, I started using it daily after two weeks. Now, after three weeks, I see more swelling and redness around the opening of my penis. Could this be an STD, or maybe it's because of how the Flonida cream is affecting my skin? When I apply it, the foreskin touches the tip of my penis. I'm really anxiousis this a sign of herpes? What type of doctor should I consult?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like the swelling and redness you're experiencing could be related to the use of Flonida cream, especially if it is coming into contact with sensitive areas like the tip of your penis. However, since genital warts and other STDs can present with similar symptoms, I strongly recommend consulting a **dermatologist** or a **venereologist** (specialist in sexually transmitted diseases) for a proper diagnosis and to rule out any concerns like herpes or other infections. It's important to get a professional opinion for peace of mind.

Question 2

I'm someone who hits the gym regularly and likes to take my protein shake every day after working out. Ive been wondering, if I masturbate once a week or every two weeks, will it impact my muscle growth or body size? Will it affect how my body develops?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation, when done in moderation, does not have a significant impact on muscle growth or body size. Its a natural activity that doesnt interfere with your ability to build muscle or your physical progress as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and exercise. Focus on your workout regimen and diet for the best results.

Question 3

It's possible that you may have pinworms, as they can affect adults too, though it's more common in children. The wriggling sensation and itching at night are typical symptoms. To confirm, you can try the "tape test" (pressing a piece of clear tape to your anus in the morning before bathing) and check for eggs under a microscope. Over-the-counter medications like mebendazole or albendazole can help, but it's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 4

I'm 23 years old and I've noticed that my foreskin is attached to the tip of my penis, and it's painful when I try to pull it back. I'm really anxious about getting a circumcision, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to detach the foreskin. Any...

Phimosis refers to the inability to retract the distal foreskin over the glans penis. Pathologic phimosis defines an inability to retract the foreskin after it was previously retractible or after puberty, usually secondary to distal scarring of the foreskin.
Paraphimosis is the entrapment of a retracted foreskin behind the coronal sulcus. Paraphimosis is a disease of uncircumcised or partially circumcised males....Up to 95% of cases of phimosis have been shown to respond to application of topical steroids to the preputial orifice, although some studies have suggested that this response rate may decline several months after the regimen is completed. An initial attempt at medical intervention has been shown to reduce costs by 27.3% in comparison with primary circumcision as a treatment...consult nearest urologist they will help you further

Underarm temperature of 98.6F (37C) is considered normal.

Fever is typically defined as:

Axillary (armpit) temperature above 99.5F (37.7C)
Oral temperature above 100.4F (38C)
Rectal temperature above 101F (38.3C)

Please note that axillary temperatures are generally 0.5-1F (0.3-0.6C) lower than oral temperatures.

Potential Causes*

1. *Over-masturbation*: Frequent or aggressive masturbation can lead to desensitization.
2. *Poor circulation*: Reduced blood flow to the penis can cause numbness or decreased sensitivity.
3. *Nerve damage*: Injury or pressure on the nerves in the pelvic area can affect sensitivity.
4. *Psychological factors*: Stress, anxiety, or depression can contribute to decreased sensitivity.
5. *Medical conditions*: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or neuropathy, can affect nerve function and sensitivity.

*Regaining Sensitivity*

1. *Take a break*: Avoid masturbation for a while to give your penis a chance to recover.
2. *Practice gentle masturbation*: When you do masturbate, use gentle, light touches to help your penis become more sensitive again.
3. *Improve circulation*: Engage in regular exercise, such as cardio or yoga, to enhance blood flow to the penis.
4. *Manage stress*: Try relaxation techniques, like meditation or deep breathing, to reduce stress and anxiety.
