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?

visit your nearest STD clinic or you can visit Dermatologist where you get yourself tested and exact STD kit for the disease would resolve this. It is curable no need to worry, visit Dermatologist as soon as possible

View allI've been dealing with pain in both my testicles and thighs for about a year now, and I'm not sure if I should see an orthopedic specialist or a urologist. Could pain in the testicles and groin area be causing the discomfort in my thighs, or is that something different? I'd really appreciate some advice from either a urologist or an orthopedic specialist on who to consult first. I've asked before but didn't get a clear answer, so I'm hoping for some clarity this time.
Visit a Urologist first to evaluate the testicular pain. The urologist may perform physical exams, ultrasounds, or other tests to identify any underlying conditions in the reproductive system. If the urologist rules out any urological causes and suspects the issue may be muscular or nerve-related, you can then visit an orthopedic specialist for further evaluation of the thigh pain.

I've been dealing with some intense pain in my lower abdomen ever since I was told I have kidney stones a few days ago. The ultrasound showed a 4mm stone, and my doctor prescribed me meftal spas for the pain, but it's not really working for me. The pain is seriously tough to handle. Is there any other way to manage or stop this pain?
If Dolo 650 isn't effective, consider the following options: Consult your doctor before switching medications. You can try Crocin (paracetamol) 650mg or Calpol (paracetamol) 650mg. If your fever is severe, your doctor may prescribe a stronger medication like Combiflam (ibuprofen and paracetamol) or Brufen (ibuprofen). However, always consult your doctor before taking any new medication. Additionally, ensure staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest.

Why are UTIs more common for women than men?
Women have a shorter urethra than men do. As a result, there's less distance for bacteria to travel to reach the bladder. Using diaphragms for birth control may increase the risk of UTIs. Using spermicidal agents also can increase risk.
