I'm really worried because I'm diabetic with an FBS of 200 and I've noticed that I'm getting sensitive areas under the foreskin, which is prominent after intercourse. I'm uncircumcised and have been using Surbraz TZ cream for about two years to help subside the cuts, but it keeps recurring. My routine urine tests always come back normal, but sometimes my wife ends up with a UTI after we've been intimate. We've tried using Zocon T, and it helps temporarily, but the symptoms keep returning. I've seen a lot of skin and VD specialists, but no one has been able to provide a solution. I understand this might be related to my diabetes, but there's got to be some kind of cure or long-term solution, right? What should I do next?

Consider consulting a urologist or a diabetes specialist for personalized guidance, as your symptoms suggest a possible connection to balanitis, a common condition in uncircumcised diabetic men, characterized by inflammation and irritation under the foreskin; in addition to managing your diabetes, practicing good genital hygiene, and using topical creams like Surfraz TZ, explore other treatment options like circumcision, laser therapy, or antifungal medications, and address your wife's recurrent UTIs through a urologist or gynecologist to prevent further complications.

I've been having some issues that are making me worried. I'm a 21-year-old male, and I've noticed that if I drink a lot of water, within just 15 to 30 minutes I get an urgent need to pee and can't seem to hold it for long. I end up going to the bathroom 2 to 3 times within an hour. Also, if I eat more than usual, I feel like I need to use the latrine right away. I do have a 7mm kidney stone, and my doctor advised me to drink plenty of water. But now, with these symptoms, I'm starting to wonder if they could be related to diabetes. Could that be a possibility? It's really starting to bother me, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hey, I'm looking for some advice on how to last longer during sex, maybe more than an hour. Are there any tablets you would recommend for increased stamina or extra power during intimacy? Would appreciate any suggestions you have!

For enhancing stamina and duration, medications like Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) can be considered, but it's important to consult a healthcare provider before use. They can evaluate your overall health and suggest the most appropriate treatment for you.
