I've been experiencing a burning sensation when I pee and I've also noticed semen leakage during urination. I already had my urine tested, but the results came back normal. I'm wondering what might be causing these symptoms and what I should do next. Could it be something serious?

Burning sensation in urine and semen leakage while urinating can be indicative of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Since your urine test did not show any abnormalities, I would recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat a possible infection. Additionally, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day to help with the burning sensation. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any infection. If symptoms persist, further evaluation may be needed.

View allI'm feeling a bit worried because my doctor at Medanta Gurgaon mentioned that I might need frenuloplasty surgery. Are there any other options or alternatives to this procedure? I'm not sure what to do and would really appreciate some guidance.
Frenuloplasty is commonly recommended to treat a tight or shortened frenulum, but alternatives like steroid creams or stretching exercises might help in milder cases. It's best to discuss with your doctor if these options could be suitable for you.

I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's been worrying me. It started with pain in my lower abdomen, and after a while, I began feeling pain in my penis and the nearby pelvic area. I've had IBS for quite some time, and I'm wondering if this penile pain could be related to my lower abdomen issues and IBS. Does that make sense? Could they be connected?

I've been dealing with phimosis and heard steroid creams might help which ones actually work and how do you use them properly? Is surgery the only option if the creams don't help, or are there other treatments? How long does it usually take to see improvement with the creams?
Steroid creams can be an effective conservative treatment for phimosis, reducing inflammation and loosening the foreskin to facilitate retraction. Betamethasone, hydrocortisone, and triamcinolone are commonly used according to Medscape. Surgery is generally considered the gold standard for adults, while creams and stretching exercises are often tried first. Improvement with steroid creams can be seen within 4-8 weeks, with a higher success rate when combined with stretching exercises.
