I'm worried because my penis has suddenly gotten swollen, and I dont exactly know why. I was traveling on a bus last night, and this morning I noticed it was a bit swollen. Now, it seems to have gotten worse. There's been no sexual activity or anything else that could explain it. Could something have bitten me, and what should I do about it? Can you help me out with some advice?

I'm constantly feeling the urge to pee and poop. It's really frustrating because when I try to pee, I have to push really hard and only a tiny bit comes out. When I poop, its incredibly painful because my anus is really swollen and inflamed. I'm stuck in the bathroom and it's becoming unbearable. What's going on with me? Can you help?

Possible Diagnoses* 1. *Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)*: Frequent urination, straining while urinating, and minimal urine discharge are common UTI symptoms. 2. *Prostatitis*: Inflammation of the prostate gland can cause urinary symptoms, including frequent urination and straining. 3. *Proctitis*: Inflammation of the rectum can cause painful bowel movements, swelling, and inflammation around the anus. 4. *Anal Fissure*: A small tear in the lining of the anus can cause painful bowel movements, bleeding, and swelling. *Treatment Advice* 1. *Seek Medical Attention*: Consult a doctor or a gastroenterologist to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. 2. *Urinalysis and Stool Tests*: Your doctor may order these tests to check for infections, inflammation, or other conditions. 3. *Antibiotics*: If a UTI or prostatitis is diagnosed, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. 4. *Pain Management*: Your doctor may recommend pain relief medications, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, to manage discomfort during bowel movements. 5. *Stool Softeners*: To reduce straining during bowel movements, your doctor may recommend stool softeners, such as docusate or psyllium. 6. *Warm Sitz Baths*: Soaking in a warm bath can help reduce inflammation and discomfort around the anus. 7. *Dietary Changes*: Increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and avoiding spicy or irritating foods can help manage symptoms. *When to Seek Emergency Medical Attention* 1. *Severe Abdominal Pain*: If you experience sudden, severe abdominal pain, seek immediate medical attention. 2. *Vomiting Blood or Black Tarry Stools*: If you vomit blood or pass black, tarry stools, seek emergency medical attention. 3. *Fever Above 101.5F (38.6C)*: If you have a fever above 101.5F (38.6C), seek medical attention.

I've had a slow urine flow since childhood and was recently diagnosed with a high bladder neck or bladder outlet obstruction. The doctor said surgery isn't suitable for me right now. Are there any permanent treatment options in ayurveda or homeopathy that could help without needing surgery?

A bladder neck obstruction may occur at birth due to connective tissue or muscle issues. This can cause a severe obstruction of the upper urinary tract and can lead to kidney malfunction, which can sometimes be fatal Homeopathy may offer some relief for the symptoms of bladder outlet syndrome (BOO), but it is not a cure for the underlying condition. While homeopathy can be helpful in managing symptoms like frequent urination and discomfort associated with bladder infections (cystitis), it cannot address the physical blockage or structural issues causing BOO

I'm 29 and I'm dealing with a few issues that are really bothering me. My penis is small, and I have trouble with it not getting hard when I'm having sex. Plus, I end up finishing way too quickly. It's really affecting my confidence, and I just want my penis to be bigger and thicker. Can you give me some advice or suggest something that might help?

For increasing penis size and improving hardness, you can consider taking Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg before sexual activity. For premature ejaculation, you can try Dapoxetine 30mg. Both medications can help improve your sexual performance. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you.
