I've been having some issues after having unprotected sex about 3 months ago. My penis is looking a bit shiny and there's this itching, plus sometimes it burns a bit when I touch the foreskin. Im getting pretty worried. I want to get tested for all STDs and STIs in Kolkata. Can you point me in the right direction for this?

I've had this lump in my groin area under the skin for about a week now. It feels like a semi-hard ball and it really hurts when I touch it. Any idea on what it could be and how I can get rid of it?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm 28 and my penis head doesn't fully come out - will this cause issues during sex? Are there any non-surgical treatments that could help with this?

A tight foreskin (phimosis) can potentially cause issues during sex, but not always. Non-surgical treatments like steroid creams and stretching exercises can help loosen the foreskin

I found out that I have a 4.5mm calculus in my left kidney, and now I'm really worried about what I should eat to keep these stones from forming again. I already drink about 3 liters of water every day, so I'm wondering if there's a specific diet I should follow. What do you recommend?

-Keep drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and prevent stone formation. Adjust your diet by reducing oxalate-rich foods and limiting salt and animal protein. Regular follow-ups with your doctor will ensure you're on the right track.
